Coconut-Lime Marinated and Grilled Shrimp image

The quick and easy marinade in this recipe is a great way to use up that leftover coconut milk you have in your refrigerator. It adds a touch of sweetness to grilled shrimp and only takes 30 minutes to infuse tremendous flavor into your next dinner. Serve with steamed white rice or cold rice noodles for a light but delicious meal.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 45m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large limes (about 10 ounces)
One 1/2-inch piece fresh ginger
2 large cloves garlic
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/3 cup canned coconut milk
Kosher salt
1 pound jumbo shrimp (16/20), peeled and deveined
1 small scallion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Zest and juice 2 of the limes (you should have about 1 tablespoon zest and 1/4 cup juice) and add to a medium glass bowl. Peel and grate the ginger and garlic and add to the bowl along with the red pepper flakes, canola oil, coconut milk and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Stir to combine.
  • Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the remaining lime into wedges. Reserve for serving.
  • Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and put on a baking sheet lined with paper towels; don't worry if the coconut milk has hardened while it was in the refrigerator. In batches, cook the shrimp until lightly charred in spots on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large plate.
  • Top with the sliced scallion and serve with the reserved lime wedges.

Provided by Aaron McCargo Jr.

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Peanut oil, for frying
1 cup coconut milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons grated ginger
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
8 to 10 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
1 lime, juiced
1 1/2 cups mango chutney, store-bought
1/4 cup coconut milk
2 limes, 1 zested and both juiced
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch salt
Chopped cilantro leaves, as needed

Steps:

  • In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough peanut oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 325 degrees F.
  • In a large and shallow dish, whisk together the coconut milk, egg, grated ginger and flour to form a thick batter. To a second shallow dish, add in the shredded coconut. Dip the prawns in the batter, then roll them thoroughly in the coconut shreds. Drop them, in batches, into the peanut oil and fry until their exteriors are golden brown and crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer them from the fryer to a platter lined with paper towels and immediately season them with salt and black pepper. Transfer the prawns to a serving platter and sprinkle with cilantro and lime juice. Serve them with the dipping sauce.
  • Sauce:
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the mango chutney over low heat. Add the coconut milk and stir well to combine. Stir in the zest, lime juice, sugar, cayenne, ginger and salt. Continue cooking until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the sauce has warmed through. Add some chopped cilantro and remove the saucepan from the heat. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and serve with the Ginger and Coconut Crusted Jumbo Shrimp.

Categories     Shrimp     Garlic     Lime     Coconut     Basil     Seafood     Grill     Grill/Barbecue

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 Tbsp. finely grated lime zest
¼ cup low-sodium or tamari soy sauce
¼ cup grapeseed or vegetable oil, plus more for grill
