Coconut Lemongrass kebabs
« Reply #-1 on: February 07, 2017, 06:55:50 PM »
I've been craving shrimp this week, and decided it was high time to crank up the bbq.  We've had way colder weather than usual this winter, so I've been a weenie about going outside to cook anything.   ::)

James agreed some skewered shrimp were in order, so I made a marinade of coconut milk, lime juice, pineapple juice, lemongrass and ginger. 



I really should have marinated the shrimp and veggies in a bag or something first, instead of threading the goodies onto the skewers and THEN dumping the marinade over the top, but ya live and learn, eh?   

This is what I used in the marinade: 
1 can unsweetened coconut milk
juice from a can of pineapple
1/2 cup of lime juice
1 Tablespoon of pureed lemongrass
1 Tablespoon of pureed ginger
(I buy the little tubes of pre-pureed lemongrass and ginger at the grocery store-- makes life SO MUCH easier!)
I also added a splash of the liquid from a jar of candied jalapenos I made with Splenda awhile ago to add some sweetness and heat




I painted them with a little more of the marinade just after I put them on the MAK.

They redesigned the FlameZone on the MAK recently, and I have a prototype at home to play with-- did a pretty darn good job getting a bit of a char on my skrimps!




Man these hit the spot!  James and I agreed we need to do these more often.  Other than the sugars in the pineapple and juices, they're pretty low carb, easy to make, and super tasty!   Next time I might skip the skewers and just put them out on some grill mats or something just to experiment. 

I also saved some of the marinade before I put it on the shrimp, and reduced that down by about half and drizzled it over the top on my plate.  I mixed in a bit more lemongrass and ginger into my part, but James liked his without extra.

DANG those look outstanding.  I like the mix of pineapple in with that.  Probably really good compliment to the coconut milk.  Nice cook - YUM

 Kat that looks fantastic!  And it sounds quite wonderful too!
I wish more folks would try things outside their norm than just say " I don't do that"! There are so many wonderful flavors and exceptionally healthy foods that we may like that are too quickly written off because of it being "out of the box".
