So you think you have good luck well listen to this.You listening!!!?Okay so I love these and make them almost every year for New Years eve.Well a bunch of local stores near me have shrimp on sale this week!!!!!!!!!!Now I can make this without spending a life saving amount of money.Seriously stores are ridiculous these days in prices.Lucky for me I am great with coupons so that helps but seriously the prices are HUGE!I spend over $15,000 dollars a year on grocery's (I think) I spend less money on my outfits and I have a lot of accessories.Like I have a headband for every outfit and a bunch of Vero Bradley purses and shoes but I don't even spend that much.Anyway enough gossip about food stores let talk pineapple.This reminds me of a beach because the shrimp and pineapple and its all tropical and at the moment I am having a picture in my head of hula dancers.I sware,I know its weird but its true so I might as well tell y'all.Then you have the chili which adds a PUNCH of flavor but it is not to over powing it is a the perfect amount.The flavorsin this are super balenced since you have the spice of the chili the sweet pineapple and the salt of a little soy sauce.Wait okay I will be back in like twenty minutes.I am going to go help my family do something that I do not know what thow..............................................................(20 minutes later) k I'm back.Sooooo,what were we talking about again?Well I told my family I would go and hang out so,ttyl  bye.(an=d happy New Year).
