Peanut Lime Shrimp
- Prep Time: 20 mins
- Cook Time: 10 mins
- Total Time: 30 mins
- Yield: 6 shrimp skewers 1x
Ingredients
- 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp
- For the marinade:
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten free)
- Dash of Sriracha (add more or less depending on spice preference)
- 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
- Chopped cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- For the marinade, whisk all ingredients together in a medium bowl
- Add the shrimp, toss until all the shrimp are evenly coated, and let marinade for ten minutes, tossing a few times throughout
- Skewer the shrimp. We added five shrimp to each skewer
- Heat coconut oil (vegetable or canola can be substituted) in a grill pan over medium-high heat
- Grill the shrimp for a few minutes per side or until they are cooked through. It won’t take long!
- While the shrimp are cooking, pour the remaining marinade into a small pot and turn onto medium-high heat
- Let the marinade simmer for a few minutes to cook out any bacteria from the raw shrimp
- Add a little water to the sauce to thin it out if it reduces too much and is too thick
- To serve, place the shrimp on plates and drizzle the peanut lime sauce over the skewers
