Ingredients
For the coconut sauce:
- 1/2 cup coconut yogurt
- 1 tsp Sriracha sauce or to taste
- 1 tsp lime juice
For the grilled shrimp:
- 1 pound 20-25 or 16-20 shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 lices pineapple cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt
- 1/2 tbsp lime juice
- Optional: chopped curly parsley to garnish
Instructions
To make the coconut sauce:
- Add the coconut yogurt, together with sriracha sauce and lime juice to a small bowl;
- whisk well and refrigerate until ready to use.
To make the skewers:
- Soak the skewers in water for 10 to 20 minutes.
- Alternately thread shrimps and pineapple slices onto the skewers.
- To cook the shrimp skewers:
- Brush the grill grate with some oil and preheat at high for 5 minutes.
- Place the skewers over the grill and cook for about 2 minutes per side.
- Once done, place on a serving plate and serve with the coconut sauce.
Notes
- To save time, buy tail-on shrimp that are already peeled and deveined.
- Use raw shrimp, pre-cooked shrimp will turn rubbery and tough when cooked again.
- Refrigerate the coconut sauce until ready to use.
- Before using them, soak the skewers in water for 10 to 20 mins to avoid burning. Or you can invest in some metal skewers.
- Use a preheated grill.
- You can use an outdoor grill, grill pan, or broiler to make these shrimp skewers.
- You don't have to keep the tails on the shrimp, but it does make for a nice presentation!
- Brush the grill with some oil before cooking the shrimp, this allows you to flip the shrimp without tearing.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cook quickly, you only need 2-3 mins per side. You know they're done when the shrimps turn pink and opaque
- Garnish the shrimp with parsley or try some basil.
