Author:
Recipe type: Appetizer; Main course
Cuisine: Caribbean
Serves: 2-3
RecipeIngredients
  • 16-18 pieces of medium size shrimp (or about 10-12 pieces of jumbo shrimp)
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro
  • 4 large garlic cloves
  • 1 by 1 inch piece of fresh ginger
  • 2 green (serrano) chilies (omit for AIP)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • ¼ tsp sea salt or as needed
  • 1 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
RecipeInstructions
  1. Place all of the listed ingredients other than shrimp and coconut oil in a food processor (use small jar) and blend well. Mixture may be a little chunky and that's ok. Marinate the shrimp in this mixture for about 10-15 mins.
  2. Heat a non stick frying pan. Add the coconut oil. Add the shrimp in the pan and cook for about 1 min on each side. Transfer to a plate and keep covered until serving time.
  3. If grilling in oven, turn oven to Broil setting. Place the shrimp in an Al foil lined tray on skewers and place on the top rack about 4 inches from the flames. Cook for about 2 mins and then flip once and cook for about 1 minute on other side. Take the shrimp out and serve immediately or cover with foil until serving. (Do Not overcook the shrimp as they will turn hard)
Notes
For a Paleo AIP version, skip the green chillies and use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce
