Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the coconut milk, brown sugar, rum, and lime juice. Whisk until sugar is dissolved. Set aside half of mixture for the glaze. Add shrimp to remaining mixture still in the bowl. Gently coat all shrimp with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- While shrimp is marinating, make your glaze by placing reserved mixture in a small saucepan over low-medium heat. Bring to a simmer and while stirring constantly, allow mixture to thicken slightly, reduced to about 1/2 - 1/3 cup. Remove immediately from heat.
- Remove shrimp from refrigerator and thread onto metal skewers or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water. Discard any remaining marinade. Grill shrimp over medium heat, about 2 minutes per side or until shrimp have turned pink. Remove from grill and brush shrimp with glaze. Turn skewers over and brush the other side with glaze. Serve and enjoy!

'BUT WHY IS THE RUM GONE?' GRILLED SHRIMP
Do not marinate the shrimp longer than the indicated time. If you are using bamboo skewers, be sure to soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes. I serve these with an orzo salad and grilled zucchini and squash.

Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will have a sweeter flavor and be more tender than frozen shrimp.
- Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in the rum glaze for at least 30 minutes will help to infuse them with flavor.
- Use a hot grill: A hot grill will help to sear the shrimp and prevent them from sticking.
- Cook the shrimp for a short amount of time: Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important to cook them for just a few minutes per side.
- Serve the shrimp immediately: Grilled shrimp are best served immediately after they are cooked.
Conclusion:
Rum glazed grilled shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The shrimp are marinated in a sweet and tangy rum glaze, then grilled to perfection.
