Soy sauce, lime, and plenty of grated garlic create a marinade that adds tons of flavor in as little as five minutes while helping the shredded coconut adhere to the shrimp.

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
1 lb. large shrimp, peeled, deveined, preferably with tails left on
½ cup toasted unsweetened shredded coconut, plus more for serving
8 oz. shishito peppers
½ cup basil leaves
¼ cup fresh lime juice
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Stir together garlic, lime zest, soy sauce, and ¼ cup oil in a medium bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Add ½ cup coconut and toss again to coat. Let sit while grill heats, at least 5 minutes and up to 30 minutes.
  • Prepare a grill for high heat, lightly oil grate.
  • Carefully arrange shrimp in an even layer on grate. Grill, carefully turning halfway through, until opaque and lightly charred, about 2 minutes. Some of the coconut will fall off in the process, and that's okay. Transfer to a serving platter.
  • Grill peppers, turning occasionally and being careful not to let them fall through grate, until lightly charred all over, about 6 minutes. Transfer to platter with shrimp.
  • Top shrimp and peppers with basil, drizzle with lime juice, and sprinkle with sea salt and more coconut.

I'm allergic to coconut, so I substituted almond flour in the coating. It turned out great!

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's definitely worth it. The shrimp are so juicy and flavorful, and the coconut coating is perfectly crispy.

I followed the recipe exactly and the shrimp turned out tough and rubbery. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I'm a huge fan of coconut shrimp, and this recipe did not disappoint! The shrimp were perfectly cooked and the coconut coating was crispy and flavorful. The shishito peppers were a nice addition, but I think I'll try adding some pineapple next time.

The shrimp was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the flavors were still great. Next time I'll cook it for a shorter amount of time.

This shrimp dish is divine! The coconut and shishito peppers pair perfectly, and the grilled flavor is out of this world. I served it with jasmine rice and a side of mango salsa, and it was a hit with my family.
