Try these Grilled Coconut & Pineapple Sweet Chili Shrimp for a taste of the tropics. Shrimp cooked to perfection and served with a delicious sauce made of coconut, pineapple, and sweet chili.
Ingredients: 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined. 1 cup coconut milk. 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks. 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce. 2 tablespoons soy sauce. 2 tablespoons minced ginger. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tablespoon lime juice. Salt and pepper to taste. Wooden skewers, soaked in water.
Instructions: To make the marinade, put the coconut milk, ginger, garlic, lime juice, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Transfer two thirds of the marinade to a shallow dish or resealable bag with shrimp. For basting, set aside the remaining marinade. Shrimp should be marinated for at least 30 minutes, with periodic turnings, in the refrigerator. Set your smoker's temperature to 175C 350F. Place marinated shrimp and pineapple chunks on the soaked skewers in succession. Skewers should be placed on the smoker grates and cooked for 10 to 12 minutes, turning and basting halfway through with the marinade that was set aside. When shrimp become opaque and pink, they are done. Take care not to cook too much. Garnish the hot Grilled Coconut & Pineapple Sweet Chili Shrimp with lime wedges and chopped cilantro.
