Instructions
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat.
Thread 4-5 shrimp onto each skewer; place shrimp in shallow baking dish. (Tip: Use 2 skewers to prevent shrimp from spinning while grilling.)
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, garlic and cilantro. Remove ⅓ cup of marinade and set aside. Pour remaining marinade over shrimp, turning until well-coated. Let stand at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
Whisk green pepper sauce into the reserved marinade; set mixture aside.
Make the Coconut Dipping Sauce by whisking together yogurt, cream of coconut, smoked paprika and salt; set sauce aside.
Brush grill with vegetable oil or spray with nonstick grilling spray. Remove shrimp from marinade and place on grill. Grill 2 minutes and then brush with the reserved marinade. Flip and brush with more marinade. Grill for 1-2 more minutes, or until shrimp are pink and fully cooked.
Serve hot with Coconut Dipping Sauce.
Notes
This recipe only uses several tablespoons of cream of coconut. Use the leftover to make Pina Coladas!
