Zinc Bistro's Grilled Shrimp Skewers With Gochujang & Pickled Pineapples

Grilled shrimp gets a spicy kick with a gochujang marinade, a Korean sauce that you can make right in your own kitchen! The “sweet heat” of the shrimp pairs fabulously with coriander cream, made with creme fraiche and cracked coriander. Top with pickled pineapples, and you have a crazy good kebab perfect for fall gatherings!
