Instructions
For the shrimp: mix all ingredients together into a bowl and stir shrimp to coat evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to grill. To cook, place shrimp onto preheated hot grill. {If you have smaller shrimp, it might be easier to skewer them and grill them that way.} Cook shrimp about 2 minutes per side or until they turn pink and opaque.
Cut pineapple into large chunks. {You can also skewer the pineapple to make turning them easier.} Grill to your liking. {I like mine to have a few grill marks at least!}
Remove from the grill.For the rice: Melt butter in medium sized pot over medium-high heat. Stir in rice, bay leaf, salt and pepper until every grain is coated in butter. Stir and cook about 1 minute.
