Grilled Shrimp Salads with Coconut Vinaigrette image

I first tried a salad very similar to this when visiting a friend in Florida. When I returned, I was determined to create the same refreshing combination at home. The secret is the coconut-milk marinade-makes the shrimp incredibly tender and flavorful. -Sarah Vasques, Milford, New Hampshire
