Ingredients

• ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

• ½ cup coconut milk
• 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
• 4 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Mix coconut milk, lime juice, cilantro, coconut oil, shredded coconut, garlic, garam masala, and curry powder together in a large bowl. Add shrimp. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Step 3

While shrimp marinates, fill a pan with water. Soak skewers in water so they will not burn during grilling.

Step 4

Thread shrimp, pineapple, and mushrooms onto 2 skewers at a time, placed about 1/2-inch apart, so you can turn skewers easily while grilling. Brush with marinade.

Step 5

Grill skewers on the preheated grill until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
