I made this and it wasnt a big hit with my husband. he didnt agree with the mix of pineapple and shrimp. i added another Serrano pepper and i didnt remove the seeds. i am glad i did this because i would have had a very sweet result. i ended up with a balanced sweet and spicy chutney. i dont think ill make this again, but i enjoyed it with the changes i made.

Shrimp and pineapple?
Ayurveda states that meats and fruit are not to be mixed.
This recipe was good, but what it did later was unmentionable. :-(
Food should not attack the body.

My personal taste required that I cut back on the spice a little; I'm extremely sensitive to highly spiced (even modestly spiced foods. But even with the reduced spice content this is a wonderful recipe. I love this little gal .....
Can't wait for Sunday morning when I can enjoy a nice cup of Chai tea and learn from what she has to offer.

Loved the unique flavors of this simple recipe and will reuse the wonderful cajun/cornmeal crusted shrimp idea as an appetizer with simple cocktail or remoulade sauce.

I do confess to a loathing of cardamom, so I steer clear of those recipes of Aarti, but I have an equal loathing for the evil Aarti haters who are posting hateful remarks on this site. Sick people....

Well Aarti, I have found a love for Indian spices never used before, and in this recipe, what outstanding flavor! My husband and I ate this (2 people mind you! and it was all gone in minutes. Thank you for the tip on salting frozen shrimp first and loved the cajun spice/corn meal combination before frying. I had to sign up to rate your recipes and so glad I have!

The pineapple chutney is absolutely delicious, I did substitute an anaheim chile for the serano chile because that is what I had on hand. You could easily do this as a relish and leave out the mayo and cilantro. The spices were so good and the tumeric really gave it a great color. I also used a can of well drained crushed pineapple rather than a can of chunks. I did the shrimp exactly as written, then served the sandwich open face on a lightly toasted hoagie roll. I have enough of the chutney left over and tomorrow will serve it along side a black bean burger.

I have many books on traditional Indian cooking and I always enjoy it, but these recipes are a whole new style of cooking that I never would have imagined. This truly is the perfect way to marry Indian and American flavors. When I first read the recipe, I had a big red question mark over my head, but I trust Aarti, so I made it.

I could not find the Cajun marinade, so I rubbed the shrimp with a Grill-Masters Salmon rub that I had. And because I figured the marinade would help the corn meal stick, I just went ahead and cooked them very quickly in a little olive oil, instead of frying them.

But I was able to follow the part of the recipe for the pineapple sauce exactly and it's soooooo amazing. Because I wasn't sure about the flavor I chose for the shrimp, I cooked them in the same pan I'd used for the spices for the mayonnaise, so the flavors would marry.

The sandwiches were AMAZING! And so pretty. The tumeric and the pineapple gave it a great color. And the flavors blended so well together. Awesome recipe. And so unique.

Made the whole menu for a picnic for 6. Hit of the party! I added less cajun spice as I thought 4 tsp would be too much for my guests. Add the rest of the spices to your taste ( I always toast my spices first.
The heat and the cornmeal crunch of the shrimp hitting the cool of sweet pineapple mayo was really terrific. The colors of it all with those cilantro flecks was just beautiful. My guests gobbled these down and wanted more.

To those of you on this site who are here to diss Aarti, please go away. Her ideas are fresh and new.
