Instructions
- 1
Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on if desired.
~5 min - 2
Finely mince the garlic, red chili peppers (remove seeds for less heat), and ginger. In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, chili, ginger, soy sauce, fish sauce, and vegetable oil to create the marinade. Add the shrimp to the marinade, toss to coat, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator).
~15 min - 3
While the shrimp marinates, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together coconut milk, lime juice, and brown sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
~3 min - 4
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, leaving a small space between each shrimp.
~5 min - 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
~5 min - 6
Grill the shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. During the last minute of grilling, brush generously with the coconut-lime glaze.
~5 min - 7
Remove from grill, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve immediately.

Tips
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- These skewers are delicious served with a side of jasmine rice or a fresh mango salad.
