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.

Tips:
- Use fresh limes: Fresh limes provide the best flavor for the marinade. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Don't marinate the shrimp for too long: Shrimp marinates quickly, so you only need to marinate it for 30 minutes to an hour. If you marinate it for too long, the shrimp will become tough.
- Use a variety of seasonings: In addition to lime juice, you can add other seasonings to the marinade, such as garlic, ginger, cilantro, and chili powder. This will give the shrimp more flavor.
- Grill the shrimp over high heat: Grilling the shrimp over high heat will help to create a nice char on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.
- Serve the shrimp immediately: Grilled shrimp is best served immediately after it is cooked. You can serve it with a variety of sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad.
Conclusion:
Lime marinade is a great way to add flavor to grilled shrimp. It is easy to make and only takes a few minutes. The marinade helps to tenderize the shrimp and gives it a delicious citrusy flavor. Grilled shrimp can be served as an appetizer or main course. It is a healthy and delicious meal that is perfect for any occasion.
