Best 5 Spicy Coconut And Lime Grilled Shrimp Recipes

COCONUT-LIME MARINATED AND GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Zest and juice 2 of the limes (you should have about 1 tablespoon zest and 1/4 cup juice) and add to a medium glass bowl. Peel and grate the ginger and garlic and add to the bowl along with the red pepper flakes, canola oil, coconut milk and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Stir to combine.
• Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the remaining lime into wedges. Reserve for serving.
• Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and put on a baking sheet lined with paper towels; don't worry if the coconut milk has hardened while it was in the refrigerator. In batches, cook the shrimp until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large plate.
• Top with the sliced scallion and serve with the reserved lime wedges.

SPICY COCONUT AND LIME GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Combine the jalapeno, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, coconut, olive oil, and soy sauce in a food processor; blend until smooth. Place the shrimp in a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and allow to marinate at least 2 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Thread the shrimp onto skewers, piercing each shrimp near the head and tail.
• Cook the skewers on the preheated grill, turning frequently until nicely browned on all sides and the meat is no longer pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

SPICY COCONUT AND LIME GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Combine the sliced jalapeños, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, soy sauce, lime zest, coconut milk, vegetable or olive oil, soy sauce, salt, pepper, lime zest, coconut milk, and three-quarters of the fresh basil in a large bowl and mix well.
• Soak the wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes so they won't burn.
• Add the shrimp to the marinade and mix well. Let this mixture marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.Using two skewers, and piercing the shrimp at the head and tail, add about 4 shrimp to each skewer. Using two skewers makes it easier to turn your shrimp. If you only use one, the shrimp have a tendency to twirl around as you are trying to turn them. (Once they are done, if you prefer, you can remove the shrimp from the two skewers and put them on one skewer to serve.)
• Heat a grill pan over high heat for about 4 minutes until it's smoking hot.
• Make sure your kitchen exhaust fan is on and add the shrimp skewers. Cook the shrimp until they well browned on each side. This should take about 3-4 minutes total, depending on the size of your shrimp. Don't overcook the shrimp or they will be tough.
• When all of the shrimp are done, turn the heat off and add any marinade that is left over to the pan. Let it thicken for a minute or two and pour this over your shrimp. Garnish with the rest of your basil.
• Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!
