Grilled Shrimp, Pepper & Pineapple Skewers

Notes: a great make-ahead dinner you can just pop on the grill– it cooks so quickly! If you don't have pineapple available, you can use apricots or peaches too. And add in as many extra veggies as you want. I love pairing these with a side of rice, roasted potatoes or grilled corn and a green salad.
