Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound large fresh shrimp (peeled and deveined )
2 small fresh jalapeños (sliced)
3 cloves garlic (thinly sliced 1/2-inch)
½ inch piece fresh ginger (peeled and grated, or 1 tsp ground ginger)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
Zest from ½ lime
¼ cup coconut milk
¼ cup fresh basil (cut into thin strips)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the sliced jalapeños, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, soy sauce, lime zest, coconut milk, vegetable or olive oil, soy sauce, salt, pepper, lime zest, coconut milk, and three-quarters of the fresh basil in a large bowl and mix well.
  • Soak the wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes so they won't burn.
  • Add the shrimp to the marinade and mix well. Let this mixture marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.Using two skewers, and piercing the shrimp at the head and tail, add about 4 shrimp to each skewer. Using two skewers makes it easier to turn your shrimp. If you only use one, the shrimp have a tendency to twirl around as you are trying to turn them. (Once they are done, if you prefer, you can remove the shrimp from the two skewers and put them on one skewer to serve.)
  • Heat a grill pan over high heat for about 4 minutes until it's smoking hot.
  • Make sure your kitchen exhaust fan is on and add the shrimp skewers. Cook the shrimp until they well browned on each side. This should take about 3-4 minutes total, depending on the size of your shrimp. Don't overcook the shrimp or they will be tough.
  • When all of the shrimp are done, turn the heat off and add any marinade that is left over to the pan. Let it thicken for a minute or two and pour this over your shrimp. Garnish with the rest of your basil.
  • Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!

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.

  • Top with the sliced scallion and serve with the reserved lime wedges.

COCONUT-LIME SHRIMP



Coconut-Lime Shrimp image

You can make this gingery, lightly sweet shrimp stew as tangy and spicy as you like by adjusting the amounts of chile and lime juice. Using full-fat coconut milk gives you the richest and most flavorful dish. But light coconut milk will also work, resulting in something brothier and more souplike. Be sure not to overcook the shrimp. As soon as they turn pink, they're done.

Time 25m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 shallots, diced
1 to 2 jalapeño or serrano peppers, seeded if you like, minced
1 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons freshly grated or minced ginger
2 large garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
1 (14-ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk (1 3/4 cups)
1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
1 pound peeled large shrimp
1 tablespoon freshly grated lime zest
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon coconut sugar or light brown sugar
1 teaspoon Asian fish sauce, plus more to taste
Cooked rice, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat sesame oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Stir in shallots, jalapeño and a large pinch of salt, and cook until starting to brown, about 6 minutes. Stir in ginger and garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute longer.
  • Stir in coconut milk, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
  • Stir in shrimp, lime zest, lime juice, sugar and fish sauce. Continue to simmer until shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Taste and add more lime juice, salt or fish sauce, or all three, if needed.
  • Serve over rice, with remaining cilantro and lime wedges on the side.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Shrimp: Opt for large, fresh shrimp for the best grilling experience. Check for a firm texture and avoid any with a slimy or discolored appearance.
  • Properly Devein the Shrimp: Deveining removes the digestive tract and ensures a cleaner, more enjoyable eating experience. Use a sharp knife to make a shallow incision along the back of the shrimp and remove the dark vein.
  • Create a Flavorful Marinade: The marinade is crucial for infusing the shrimp with delicious flavors. Combine aromatic spices, zesty citrus, savory herbs, and a touch of sweetness. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for maximum flavor absorption.
  • Prepare the Grill: Ensure your grill is clean and preheated to medium-high heat before adding the shrimp. This will help create a nice sear and prevent the shrimp from sticking.
  • Grill the Shrimp Perfectly: Place the marinated shrimp on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn opaque and slightly charred. Avoid overcooking, as this can make the shrimp tough and rubbery.
  • Serve with Accompaniments: Grilled shrimp pairs well with a variety of sides, such as grilled vegetables, coconut rice, or a refreshing salad. Prepare your accompaniments while the shrimp is grilling to ensure a complete and satisfying meal.

Conclusion:

The Spicy Coconut and Lime Grilled Shrimp recipe presented in this article offers a tantalizing blend of flavors and textures, making it a delightful dish for various occasions.
