Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together coconut milk, lime juice, fish sauce, minced garlic, chopped Thai chili, and brown sugar. This is your marinade.
- 2
Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
~20 min - 3
While the shrimp marinates, prepare the mango salsa. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, chopped cilantro, and diced jalapeno (if using). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
~10 min - 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
~5 min - 5
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, discarding the excess marinade.
~5 min - 6
Grill the shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook.
~5 min - 7
Serve the grilled shrimp skewers immediately, topped with the fresh mango salsa. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
Tips
- For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from the Thai chili before chopping.
- Leftover mango salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and is delicious served with tortilla chips.
