Directions

For the Glaze:

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Whisk the honey and soy sauce together, then add garlic.
Cook until slightly thickened, about five to seven minutes.
Remove from heat and add lemon juice.
Set aside.

For the Shrimp Skewers:

Combine the coconut milk, lime juice and zest, honey, and salt and whisk.
Place the shrimp and pineapple into a large sous vide pouch, then pour the coconut milk mixture over the shrimp.
Seal to compress. Marinate for two hours.
Preheat water bath to 185°F (85°C).
Cook the shrimp sous vide for 10 to 12 minutes, until shrimp is firm and red.
Remove from water and chill on ice until ready to serve.

To Serve:

Before serving, preheat the grill to high. Strain the shrimp and pineapple and thread onto skewers. Brush with a small amount of glaze.
Grill, coating with glaze a few times while turning. The shrimp should be heated through and the pineapple should be charred slightly.
When done, remove from grill, brush with remaining glaze, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes and toasted coconut.
