Coconut and peanut shrimps offer a delectable combination of tropical coconut flavors and crunchy peanuts, perfectly complemented by succulent shrimp. This dish is great for a quick weeknight dinner or as a standout appetizer for your next gathering.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Add the peeled and deveined shrimps to the marinade. Toss to ensure all the shrimps are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
- In a separate bowl, mix the finely chopped coconut meat and coarsely chopped peanuts. Set aside.
- Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, lightly grease it with oil to prevent sticking.
- Remove the shrimps from the marinade, shaking off any excess liquid. Grill or cook the shrimps in the preheated skillet for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking to keep the shrimps tender and juicy.
- While cooking, brush the shrimps occasionally with the leftover marinade for extra flavor.
- As the shrimps finish cooking, drizzle them with honey, then immediately sprinkle the coconut and peanut mixture over the shrimps. Use tongs to gently press the mixture onto the shrimps to help it adhere.
- Transfer the coconut and peanut shrimps to a serving platter. Garnish with lime wedges or fresh cilantro if desired, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Ensure the shrimp are deveined and peeled before cooking for ease and better presentation.
- Toast the coconut meat lightly in a pan before adding to the dish for an added depth of flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding a dash of red chili flakes or a chopped fresh chili to the mixture.
- Marinating the shrimp in the soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, and black pepper for at least 30 minutes will enhance the flavors.
- Use unsweetened coconut meat to keep the dish savory and balance the honey's sweetness.
- Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro or green onions for added color and freshness before serving.
With its rich, nutty flavor balanced by zesty lime juice and a hint of sweetness from honey, this Coconut and Peanut Shrimps recipe is sure to become a favorite. Enjoy the taste of the tropics in every bite!
