I'm allergic to peanuts. Can I substitute another type of nut in the marinade?

These skewers look so good, but I'm not a big fan of coconut milk. Do you think they would still be good if I omitted it from the marinade?

I'm not a big fan of pork, but these skewers were so good! The marinade really tenderized the meat, and the coconut milk gave it a lovely flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.

Absolutely delicious! The coconut milk marinade made the pork skewers so tender and juicy, and the flavors were amazing. I served them with a side of jasmine rice and a cucumber salad, and it was a perfect meal.
