Recipe: Grilled Coconut Shrimp (Healthy!)

Grilled Coconut Shrimp
Super Delish!

We have made this a couple times and it gets better and better! Highly recommend if you are looking for a coconut shrimp fix, and don’t want that deep fried YUCK.

Ingredients
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded
1 lime, zested and juiced
2 garlic cloves
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro (I go MUCH lighter on this, was too much the 1st time)
1/3 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
skewers soaked in water

Directions
1. 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.
2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
3. Thread the shrimp onto skewers, piercing each shrimp near the head and tail.
4. 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.
