Grill Caribbean Coconut Shrimp-Flavorful  grilled Coconut Shrimp- seasoned with garlic, coconut milk, thyme. Quick and easy – really tasty! Great as an appetizer too!

Grill Caribbean Coconut Shrimp

This a quick and easy  Grill  Caribbean Coconut Shrimp that is the ultimate summer shrimp to make when you are entertaining, for dinner, lunch or just because. It can be made indoor s or outdoors.

Grill Caribbean Coconut Shrimp

The first time I made this was because I wanted to use up my leftover over coconut milk. It so happen, that I was making the shrimp to top a rice dish. Unfortunately, it never made it to the table. In between grilling the shrimp, the whole family kept pulling one out of the skewers until it was all gone. It is had to resist – the taste is amazing. The flavor of thyme, garlic, onion and coconut milk makes it so enticing.

Grill Caribbean Coconut Shrimp

For those that do not like the texture of coconut this would be a great alternative, the coconut milk adds flavor  to this succulent, sultry shrimp without texture. Yielding a mild coconut taste that is hard to tell.

Grill Caribbean Coconut Shrimp

Avoid marinating the shrimp for more than 5 minutes  – it will get tough. Feel free to use two skewers per kebab it will help keep the shrimp in place when turning them on the grill. Compared to the baked caribbean shrimp, this  has  less calories but is still finger licking good.

Word of caution, resist the urge to eat it before you are done.

Serve it with a plate of vegetables , salad  or go overboard with this super easy mexican rice

Enjoy!!
