Ingredients
- 4 coconuts
- 1 Pound Peeled and Shelled Raw Shrimp
- 1 chicken breast cubed
- 1 zucchini diced
- ½ sweet potato diced
- ½ white onion diced
- ½ tomato diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 Tablespoon ginger finely chopped
- 1 handful cilantro finely chopped
- 2 Tablespoon Caribbean Curry Powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine the shrimp and cubed chicken in a bowl and season with the salt and 1 tablespoon of curry powder. Add in the veggies and the remaining 1 tablespoon of curry powder. Stir to combine and place in the refrigerator while you prep the coconuts.
- Drain the coconut water from the coconuts by poking a hole in one of the eyes of the coconut with an icepick or screw driver. Drain and strain the coconut water into a bowl. Reserve the coconut water from 2 of the coconuts. Use the water from the remaining 2 coconuts for another use.
- Us a clean and sterile saw to carefully cut the tops off of the coconuts (the portion with the eyes). Rinse the coconuts under cold water to remove any debris.
- Fill each coconut with some of the meat and veggie filling and replace the tops on the coconuts. Wrap tightly with foil.
- Roast the coconuts at 400 degrees over direct heat. Cook the coconuts until the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees. This typically takes 60-90 minutes but may take longer depending on your grill.
- Carefully remove the coconuts from the grill and remove from the foil. Remove the tops from the coconuts and serve while hot.
