Whole grilled pineapple with yellow rice and spicy shrimp





1 whole pineapple cut in half
4 jumbo shrimp pealed and deveined 
1 cup uncooked rice of your choice
1 corn on the cob - or 1/2 cup frozen
1/4 cup diced green pepper
1/4 cup diced red pepper
1/2 t onion powder
2  seeded and chopped jalapeno's
1 T olive oil
1/2 lemon or 3T of lemon juice
Big Joe's spicy cajun spice (from NOLA)


Mix the lemon juice with Big Joe and pour over thawed shrimp. Let marinade about an hour.

Cut the core out of each 1/2 of the pineapple and discard. With  paring knife or pineapple knife i(f you have one), cut the center out of each 1/2 of the pineapple. Cut into chunks.

Prepare the rice as directed.

Paint the cut side of the pineapple with the olive oil. With the cut side down, grill about 15 minutes.

In a small skillet ( or if you have a skillet for the grill - even better) combine the corn, green and red pepper, onion power and jalapeno's and chunks of pineapple.  SautĂ© about 10 minutes and then  combine this with the rice.

Grill the shrimp 5 minutes on each side or until cooked.

When the pineapple is ready, fill it with the rice mixture and top with grilled shrimp.
Heavenly!
