In a medium bowl, combine honey, BBQ Sauce, juice and seasoning. Stir to mix ingredients well.

Skewer shrimp, ham, and pineapple, until the skewer is filled. Use a pastry brush or spoon to coat skewers with sauce. Rotate skewers to make sure both sides are covered with sauce. Place skewers on rack and place in basket.

In a large bowl, combine shrimp, ham, and pineapple, cover with sauce. Use a large spoon or spatula to gently toss the ingredients to make sure the sauce has covered each piece thoroughly. Scoop to transfer into basket, and pour any sauce still in the bowl over the shrimp mixture. (You can also marinate for 15 minutes before transferring to basket).

Preheat fryer 370 degrees for 4 minutes
Place kabobs or shrimp bowl ingredients in air fryer basket. Cook for 6-8 minutes until shrimp are pink.
Serve as an appetizer or over rice. (If served over rice, this makes 4 servings. If skewered, this prepares 10-14 skewers)

I use honey BBQ sauce on almost everything for the sweet taste. To change flavor, you can also use teriyaki sauce, or different flavors of BBQ sauce. The honey and pineapple juice give it enough sweetness without having to do honey BBQ sauce.
If you want a stronger flavor, let it marinade in the sauce for 15-30 minutes.
I skewered for appetizers, but for a family sit down meal, it is easy to combine it all and put in the basket. I also keep a small amount of honey and BBQ sauce on hand as sides so the family can adjust for their taste.
