- Heat a grill or a grill pan to medium high.
- Thread the shrimp, pineapple and red pepper onto skewers.
- Brush the skewers with olive oil and sprinkle 2-3 teaspoons of jerk seasoning over the skewers - be sure to season both sides.
- Place on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until shrimp are pink and opaque.
- Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
