You can also make the same dish without the 'kebab' part - just saute the onions and peppers till they start to soften then put them in a serving bowl.  Add pineapple and honey to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the pineapple is warmed through and begins to soften.


Meanwhile, place an oven rack on the top shelf and pre-heat the broiler.  After tossing shrimp with oil and seasonings, place in a single layer on the baking sheet and broil till cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.
