- 12 jumbo shrimp, peeled deveined tails intact
- 12 pineapple chunks, bite-sized (can use well-drained canned)

- If you are going to use wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes.
- In a hot, dry skillet, toast cumin, coriander, fennel seed, fenugreek, and nigella seeds just until fragrant; remove from pan immediately so as not to burn.
- Grind spices, with chili powder and salt, either in a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder, to a fine powder; transfer to a non-metallic bowl and stir in the lemon juice.
- Add shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat; marinate 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat broiler.
- Thread skewers with 3 shrimps alternating with 3 pieces of pineapple.
- Broil 4 inches from heat source until shrimp is opaque and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side; rush with marinade.
- Serve with plenty of cilantro sprinkled over top.
