Grilled Coconut Shrimp With Pineapple Salsa

Nice tropical flavorful twist on grilled shrimp. Not too difficult to prepare and very tasty. Marinate overnight for best flavor (that is the reason the recipe says 8 hours prep time, meaning overnight)

Steps

For the pineapple salsa: place the pineapple , jalapeo pepper and red pepper in a bowl and toss to combine.
Season to taste with lime juice and salt.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
For the grilled shrimp: combine the coconut milk , lime juice , soy sauce , ginger and brown sugar in a shallow bowl.
Add the shrimp , toss to coat the shrimp evenly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat the grill to medium.
Remove the shrimp from the coconut mixture.
Season with salt and pepper and place 5 shrimp on each skewer.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook until the shrimp are just done , about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
To serve , spoon some basmati rice on each plate , remove the shrimp from the skewer and top with the salsa.
Garnish with cilantro and serve.
