My fridge had some leftover pineapples and peaches so I decided to throw them on the grill. I'm a big fan of grilling fruits because the heat really brings out the natural sweetness! To accompany the fruits, I decided to go with some chicken drumsticks and shrimp.
Ingredients
6 drumsticks
1 lb of shrimp / shell on
2 white peaces
2 nectarines
leftover pineapple
For the shrimp, make sure you clean it well. If you throw in some salt, it'll draw out some of the dirty stuff. To prepare the marinade, I used italian dressing, scotch bonnet hot sauce, green scallions, grated ginger, salt and a little oil.
For the drumsticks, I prepared a hoisin (

For the peaches and nectarines, simply halved them and remove the pits. The glaze that I applied was a simpe equal parts of balsamic vinegar and honey with a little bit of ground pepper to kick it up a notch. Oh i sprinkled in some cinnamon and nutmeg too!
When it comes to chicken, I try to go for low fire because who wants chicken thats burnt on the outside and raw on the inside right? So low and easy
Towards the end, i raise the fire a bit to get some final charred marks
