Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 cup coconut milk

Zest of 2 limes

Juice of 2 limes

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

1 cup shredded coconut (choose either sweetened or unsweetened based on preference)

Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning)

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, lime zest, lime juice, honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and optional red pepper flakes until fully combined. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl, tossing to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the shrimp to marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes or up to 2 hours to enhance their flavor.

    Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, it is important to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help prevent them from burning and allow you to achieve a perfect char on the shrimp.

      Coat with Coconut: Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat. Remove the marinated shrimp from the refrigerator. Taking one shrimp at a time, let any excess marinade drip off, then roll the shrimp in the shredded coconut, gently pressing to ensure it adheres well.

        Skewer the Shrimp: Thread the coconut-coated shrimp onto your prepared skewers. Make sure to leave some space between each shrimp to ensure even cooking and a perfect grill mark.

          Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers directly on the preheated grill. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side, monitoring closely until they turn opaque and the coconut is beautifully golden brown. Avoid leaving them unattended to prevent burning.

            Serve: Once grilled to perfection, remove the skewers from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter. Garnish generously with fresh cilantro for a vibrant touch and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
