These shrimp packets are great for weeknight dinners or a backyard cookout. When grilling steaks, throw a few on the grill for a surf and turf dinner. The shrimp are seasoned beautifully with the seafood seasoning and a hint of sweetness from the brown sugar and pineapple. A bonus is easy clean-up! Enjoy!
6 canned pineapple slices
1-1/2 lb. uncooked medium shrimp,
peeled and deveined
1/3 C. chopped sweet red pepper
1/3 C. packed brown sugar
1 Tbsp. seafood seasoning
3 Tbsp. butter, cubed
For each packet, place a pineapple slice on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 12-in. square). Top with shrimp and red pepper. Combine the brown sugar and seafood seasoning; sprinkle over shrimp. Dot with butter. Fold foil around mixture and seal tightly.
Grill, covered, over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until shrimp turn pink.

Hey lady! How important to the taste is the brown sugar? I know it will taste better obviously with the sugar however, if I omit it, do you still get the sweetness from the pineapple?

The pineapple does provide some sweetness. Maybe try honey, agave, molasses or another substitute.
