Cooking Instructions
Soak the skewers in cool water for 30 minutes.
To a blender add lime juice, garlic, achiote seeds, allspice berries, oregano, salt and peppercorns. Blend until smooth.
With the blender running, add the olive oil in a steady stream to create an emulsion.
Assemble the skewers - alternate 3 shrimp, 3 pineapple wedges, and 2 onion pieces. Transfer to a shallow pan.
Add three sprigs of fresh oregano to the pan of skewers once they are finished being assembled. Pour the achiote paste over the skewers evenly and marinate for 1-3 hours in refrigerator.
Prepare a charcoal grill to high heat.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook about 3-4 minutes a side.
Serve with a squeeze of lemon.
