Grilled Shrimp Salads with Coconut Vinaigrette image

I first tried a salad very similar to this when visiting a friend in Florida. When I returned, I was determined to create the same refreshing combination at home. The secret is the coconut-milk marinade-makes the shrimp incredibly tender and flavorful. -Sarah Vasques, Milford, New Hampshire

This salad was easy to make and very flavorful. I used a store-bought coconut vinaigrette and it was still delicious. I would definitely make this again.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of coconut. However, I'm so glad I did! The coconut vinaigrette was actually really good and it paired well with the shrimp. I would definitely recommend this recipe.
