Honey Pineapple Jalapeño Seafood Grill

Yields: Serves 4 as an appetizer; 2 as an entree

Ingredients:

2 pounds shrimp, scallops, mixed fish (cut into 2-inch pieces) or other mixed seafood (halibut, mahi, cod or salmon all work well)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 pineapple juice
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup seeded and finely chopped jalapeno chiles (or to taste)

Directions:

Preheat your Twin Eagles BBQ to high heat. Combine the butter and olive oil in a bowl and set aside. Combine the pineapple juice, honey, and jalapeno in a small saucepot and bring to a simmer, to dissolve the honey and meld the flavors. Remove the glaze from the heat and take it outside to the BBQ, along with the fish and butter mixture.

Brush the butter/olive oil mixture onto your fish of choice and season the seafood with salt and pepper. Place the fish on the grill and cook for 1 minute, to sear in the juices. Begin basting the fish with the pineapple glaze, as it’s cooking. Do not overcook the seafood as most fish grill quickly. Adjust the cooking time for each fish based on the thickness.

Continue to reapply the glaze until the seafood is cooked through. Arrange the grilled seafood on a platter and drizzle with the remaining glaze.
