SUBSCRIBE BY EMAILTake advantage of what’s left of grill season and add Grilled Spicy Coconut-Lime Shrimp Skewers to your menu. The spiciness paired with the sweet coconut flavor is a perfect match. I should mention that this is a super-easy dish to make. It’s perfect anytime!
For me, it’s not even close to the end of summer. My grill will be going for months here in Phoenix, and I know you’ve probably got plenty of grill time left, too. So don’t wave goodbye to the season before you make these Grilled Spicy Coconut-Lime Shrimp Skewers.
I was lucky that this shrimp dish came to mind when I couldn’t think of too many other things to make for dinner. I’ve had so much chicken lately — not that there’s anything wrong with that — and I was looking for something a little different, but still easy to make.
This recipe came together so quickly and took even less time to cook. Bing, bang, dinner!
If you can’t get enough of grilled chicken, you should try this Jerk Chicken recipe. It’s b-i-g on flavor!
Another tasty chicken option is this Grilled Chicken with Cherry-Chile Sauce recipe. I love the addition of cherries.
What’s your favorite thing to grill in the summer? We probably grill four nights a week and we grill all sorts of stuff, from flatbreads to salmon to dessert. I mean, who wants a hot kitchen on a warm summer night?
I love these Grilled Spicy Coconut-Lime Shrimp Skewers. I usually always have coconut milk in the pantry and limes and cilantro in the fridge. Oh, and chili garlic sauce —ALWAYS!
If you don’t have chili garlic sauce on hand, no worries. Just use your favorite hot sauce and two cloves of minced garlic.
Don’t skip out on this dish before the summer’s over! Grilled Spicy Coconut-Lime Shrimp Skewers will make dinner a welcome treat.
