Tropical Fruit Paradise

Start by creating a beautiful fruit platter that captures the essence of the tropics! Slice a variety of exotic fruits such as pineapples, mangoes, papayas, and kiwis. Arrange them artfully on a large platter, adding a handful of juicy strawberries for a pop of color. Don't forget to garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Island-Inspired Kabobs

Next, let's give our platter some protein power. Skewer bite-sized pieces of teriyaki-glazed chicken, pineapple chunks, and bell peppers onto bamboo skewers. Grill or bake them until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors are caramelized to perfection. Serve these island-inspired kabobs on the side of your fruit platter.

Crispy Coconut Shrimp

To add a touch of crunch to your Luau Platter, whip up some crispy coconut shrimp. In a bowl, mix shredded coconut, panko breadcrumbs, and a pinch of salt. Dip peeled and deveined shrimp into beaten eggs, then coat them with the coconut mixture. Fry the coated shrimp until golden brown and serve with a tangy sweet chili sauce.

Aloha-Inspired Dips

No Luau is complete without a selection of mouthwatering dips. Prepare a creamy tropical fruit salsa by combining diced mango, pineapple, red onion, jalapeno, lime juice, and cilantro. For a savory twist, whip up a Hawaiian-style poke dip using diced sushi-grade tuna, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onions, and toasted sesame seeds. Serve both dips with tortilla chips or crispy plantain chips.
