Coconut Lime Shrimp


This is not fried coconut shrimp. It's something very different - it's a little tangy, a little sweet, and a little salty. It's very easy and quick to put together.the prep time does not include marinating time in the refrigerator, so plan a few extra minutes for that. I cooked these on a george foreman grill (high 4 minutes), and i only used about half of the salt mixture, because we generally don't eat a lot of salt, so use your judgement. Also, if your grated zest is fine enough, you do not need to use a food processor.

Steps


Use a grater or zester and zest all the limes and set the zest aside.
Squeeze two of the limes , and combine the juice with coconut milk and the shrimp.
Refrigerate for 15 - 30 minutes.
In a food processor , combine the lime zest , salt and pepper.
Pulse until blended.
Remove shrimp from marinade , and place on a hot oiled grill , grill pan , or use a skillet.
Cook for 3 minutes on each side.
While shrimp are still on the grill , squeeze the remaining lime over shrimp.
When shrimp are done , remove from grill and sprinkle with the salt-pepper-lime mixture and the toasted coconut.
