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.
