Thai Peanut Shrimp Skewers with Pineapple and Red Peppers

Thai Peanut Shrimp Skewers with Pineapple and Red Peppers

One thing I really miss where I’m living now is one of the few fast casual restaurants I used to frequent in my old haunt of Greenwood Village. Out of Austin, Texas, the Firebowl Cafe was not just close, it was fantastic. The next time I visit I’ll have to see if I can duplicate my own version of two of their dishes and order these Thai Peanut Shrimp Skewers with Pineapple and Red Peppers; they were so good!

While the menu had several items listed that you could order ‘as is’ there was still a configuration that let you determine type of noodle, type of add-ins and type of sauce. After some fiddling I found my favorite was a Pineapple Fried Rice dish that I asked to have topped with the Peanut Sauce from the Pad Thai. I loved that specialty combination and decided I would revisit it in this recipe where I’ve combined the flavors from those dishes into this one that was so perfect for me.

Thai Peanut - Spiceologist

You might notice though that there is no peanut sauce. Instead I used a magical spice blend from a friend who has her own spice business, Spiceologist. I’ve know Heather for a couple of years in the blogging world and it’s been fun to see someone take an idea and run with it and see the success she has realized in her hard fought journey.

Heather asked if I would like to try some of their rubs (hell YES!) and offered the same to my lucky readers. See below the recipe for a chance to win the same four pack in a giveaway contest ($50 value)! If you win you should really try these Thai Peanut Shrimp Skewers with Pineapple and Red Peppers but you know…you can also just eat it with a spoon. 🙂

Spiceologist Spice Rubs

When Heather asked what I would like to try; I just left it up to her. When I received the box of goodies I remarked that she must have been inside my head she did such a great job in her selection. I’m in Colorado; we like some heat with our food so not only did I get the Thai Peanut Rub but also a Raspberry Chipotle Rub, and a Smoky Honey Habanero Rub. I cannot lie, I’m totally addicted to the Thai Peanut Rub but I’m able to love more than one at a time. The other two have already made an appearance on our table in burgers, flank steak and were rubbed on some barbecued pork steaks I’ll feature next week. I do love the subtle flavor they impart to meats I’m cooking on the grill; just the perfect hint of spice without being overpowering.

Heather also sent me a jar Greek Freak Rub. I’ve yet to use it as a rub, thinking I’ll try that next on some fish or chicken but in the meantime? I LOVE it sprinkled on a fried egg and this morning it was so perfect on a toasted bagel that it may have found it’s purpose; SO good! Really; there is no reason to limit my addiction to just one do you think? Make sure you check out the GIVEAWAY I’ve posted after the recipe too; you could win your own gift of each of these rubs. Trust me. You want them.

Thai Peanut Shrimp Skewers with Pineapple and Red Peppers

As easy as marinating the shrimp in oil, lime juice, a bit of white wine and the Thai Peanut Rub for a bit and then grilling everything using these wooden skewers (affiliate link). It only takes minutes and the occasional basting with the marinade mixture. Served over seasoned rice and topped with chopped peanuts and cilantro and it’s easy, delicious and will have you wishing you had made twice as much. I know these things. Still wishing I had more.

    Either Honey Habanero or Greek Freak. My husband is allergic to peanuts so the Thai Peanut would be out. These sound amazing!!

    These Spiceology Spice Blends are so unique and delicious looking that I think no matter which one I selected I could easily match it with a meat, seafood or veggie and come up with an amazing meal or even a simple but addictive popcorn or munchie mix taste sensation treat!

    I'm like you. I think they all could be my favorite. My husband I like to use rubs and lots of times we mix up our own. Always looking for new recipes for the grill. I am pinning yours and will be trying it soon. Thanks for the chance to win.
