Directions

In a microwave-safe container, place sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons water. Cover and microwave 3 to 4 minutes or until potatoes are just starting to get tender. Drain well. Cool slightly.

Thread sweet potatoes, shrimp, pineapple, and bell peppers on skewers. Lightly brush with oil and sprinkle with 3 to 4 teaspoons Jamaican jerk seasoning. In a small bowl, whisk together all the glaze ingredients.

Meanwhile, preheat grill to medium-high heat (350° to 450°F). Place skewers on grill. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes over direct heat. Brush with glaze and turn. Continue to brush with remaining glaze for 4 to 5 minutes or until shrimp is firm and pink and pineapple and vegetables are tender and browned.

In a saucepan or microwave-safe container, heat beans covered for 2 to 3 minutes or until hot. Serve kabobs with beans.

Tips: If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least 30 minutes.
