We made this fajita recipe to bring you something worthy of Cinco de Mayo , but it's quickly become a regular in the rotation at Burch Barrel HQ. The shrimp seasoning packs a kick - but the real star of this recipe is the pineapple. Grilling the pineapple on the barrel caramelizes the fruit juice and takes the flavor over the top.
Hot tip - slice a few extra pineapple spears than you think you need - they'll get swiped before the shrimp is off the skewer.
After the fajitas are assembled, remove the grill grate from the Burch Barrel and enjoy your meal fireside.
