How to Make Coconut Lime Shrimp With Peanut Sauce
- **Make the Peanut Sauce:** Combine 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 clove garlic (minced), 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1/4 cup water in a food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- **Marinate the Shrimp:** In a separate food processor, combine 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined), 1/4 cup coconut milk, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove garlic (minced), and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Pulse until just combined; do not over-process.
- **Marinate and Refrigerate:** Transfer the shrimp marinade to a 13x9x2 inch glass baking dish. Ensure all shrimp are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, turning occasionally.
- **Prepare the Grill:** Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- **Thread Shrimp onto Skewers:** Thread 5 marinated shrimp onto each of 4 skewers.
- **Grill the Shrimp:** Grill the shrimp skewers for approximately 2 minutes per side, or until they are pink and cooked through. Baste with the reserved marinade during grilling for extra flavor.
- **Alternative Broiling Method:** Preheat your broiler. Place shrimp on a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- **Serve:** Serve the grilled shrimp immediately over steamed rice, generously drizzled with the peanut sauce. Garnish with extra lime wedges and chopped cilantro (optional).
