1 pound large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup fresh pineapple chunks, finely chopped
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped pineapple, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create the Hawaiian glaze.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the glaze. Let marinate for 5 minutes at room temperature.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
Place the marinated shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 4 minutes, then carefully flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 4 minutes or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and cooked through.
Remove the shrimp from the air fryer and transfer to a serving plate.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and sesame seeds before serving.
