Coconut Pineapple Shrimp Skewers
Serves 4 | Recipe from wellplated.com
Ingredients
½ C light coconut milk
4 t hot sauce
2 t soy sauce
¼ C freshly squeezed orange juice
¼ C freshly squeezed lime juice (about 2 large limes)
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
¾ lb pineapple, cut into 1-inch chunks
Canola oil for grilling
Freshly chopped cilantro and/or green onion for serving
Additional optional ingredients for skewers – sausage, red onion, red peppers, mushrooms
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine coconut milk, hot sauce, soy sauce, and citrus juice. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and place in refrigerator to marinate for 1-2 hours (shrimp will get mushy if marinated longer than this), tossing occasionally. If using wooden skewers, soak in warm water while the shrimp marinates.
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and reserve the marinade for grilling. Thread the shrimp onto skewers, alternating with pineapple and any other ingredients. Lightly brush the grill with canola oil, then place the shrimp on the grill.
Grill for 3 minutes, brushing with the marinade, then turn and brush with marinade again. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are just cooked through. Remove to a serving plate and garnish with cilantro and/ or green onion. Serve hot.
