Walking to the bus stop on a beautiful spring morning, I hear my younger daughter singing Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer.

The Girls Christmas Morning
Christmas is clearly long behind us, but still…

Even though Christmas is clearly over 7 months away, she has Santa and presents still very much on her mind, it would appear.

As much as I couldn’t help, but smile, was also reminded of though how music in general is big in our home.

See music, no matter what time of the year, is a staple for me and my family.

Finally summer and warmer weather, which is truly my favorite time of the year.

Girls on the Playground
Enjoying some much needed outdoor playground fun-times…

As it is indeed getting warmer outside that means more outdoor activities are had and we usually play music outdoors in our backyard, while the girls play on their playground and we hang out on the patio relaxing, grilling great foods, drinking Coca-Cola™ and more.

While we lounge on our backyard patio, we usually enjoy listening to country beach rock, which reminds us of the beach and summer fun.

Zach Brown Concert
Summertime and Music Concerts seem to be a must for us…

Also, we have even attended outdoor concerts in the past during summertime.

So again, music plays a big role in our lives all year long, but especially outdoors in the summertime.

But once again so does awesome foods that can be grilled and enjoyed while spending more time outside while again drinking Coca-Cola™ during these outdoor fun-times.

Luckily, while I was recently shopping at our local CVS, I found 20 oz. plastic bottles of the “Share a Coke and a Song” Products purchasing enough Coca-Cola bottles for the adults in my family to enjoy. Honestly, CVS is an absolutely great destination to grab and go 20oz Coca-Cola products.

One such meal we like to make to have with our Coca-Cola is pineapple and coconut shrimp on the grill, which reminds me of the beach, summer sand and just fun times.

Coca-Cola Share A Coke and a Song

See shrimp, in general, happens to be one of my own favorite foods. But pineapple and coconut shrimp on the grill is actually one of my all-time favorite ways to prepare and feast on shrimp here.

So thought I would share my summer, beach and music inspired shrimp recipe here today…

    Oddly this is the first summer we have not had a barbecue grill….we might have to remedy that soon, especially now that you’ve given me a great recipe.

    Happy Monday Janine!

  7. Jen says

    Oh my gosh this recipe is the bomb! Yum! Your pictures are beautiful too! I love the Zach Brown Band. That kind of music can’t help but put you in a good mood! Add in a Coke and you have about the perfect lineup!

  8. Tamara says

    That recipe is summer in a nutshell! Same with summer music. Nothing like that. I will on occasion go sit inside a venue and enjoy a show, but outdoor lawns and picnics are my thing. I’ll be seeing Toad the Wet Sprocket this summer, but we’re right up front, so no lawn for us!

  9. Kenya G. Johnson says

    I listen to all music all of the time except for Christmas music in May. LOL! I’m definitely going to try this recipe next time we grill out. Looks delish. And I have to be the odd man out saying that I prefer Pepsi 😉

    • Janine says

      Kenya, I know not listening to Christmas music in May either – although it was 40 degrees here this morning and downright chilly with a storm that blew in here Saturday night sadly. But still hope you enjoy when you are able to try my shrimp recipe now 😉

  12. Aunt Gloria says

    The shrimp and pineapple sounds delicious! I don’t grill, but I might try roasting in the oven. I get some good things at CVS too…..good tips and thanks. I just wish Mother Nature would move us toward summer so we can begin to enjoy these outside events. Love……xxoo

  13. Cynthia says

    I will DEFINITELY agree that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the warmer weather. 🙂
    I have a true weakness for pineapple. But I’ve never tried it with shrimp. So, thanks to you, I’ll have to bookmark this and get my husband to do this on the grill! 😀
    Hope you have a wonderful Tuesday!!

  14. Carrie Groneman says

    Oh, Janine, this looks DELISH! I love coconut shrimp and what a GREAT idea to put it with pineapple!!! And toss in a COKE – well that just makes it all the better now doesn’t it! Thanks for sharing this fun post and the amazing recipe that I must try. Looking forward to a fabulous summer:)

    Hi Janine, we enjoy hot evenings sat outside listening to music. My songs of summer choice would have to be Don Henley’s Boys Of Summer and Walking On Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves, they just don’t have the same sound at any other time of the year.

    Your coconut, pineapple and shrimp recipe sounds perfect for a summer evening barbecue.

    xx

  21. Leslie says

    You know, I love the combination of pineapple and coconut (pina colada anyone?), but never thought to put the two together on the grill. I know my girls would love this, so I’m definitely adding it to our summer grilling rotation. Thanks for the recipe!
