Carribean Marinated Shrimp

Having just returned from The Bahamas, I thought it was only appropriate to post one of my favorite summer-time backyard dishes. Put on some "Island" music, fire up the grill, and enjoy!

As always, your comments after trying my recipes are appreciated!

CARRIBEAN MARINATED SHRIMP

Marinate:
1 bunch cilantro, finely chopped
1 habanero, chopped
4 shallots, chopped
2 lemons, zested
2 limes, zested and juiced to ¼ cup (juice more limes if necessary)
1 cup coconut milk
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup vegetable oil


16 shrimp, cleaned and deveined
8 skewers


Puree all marinate ingredients in a blender. Reserve 2 tablespoons of marinate.

Skewer shrimp and place in marinate, and refrigerate. After shrimp has marinated 2-3 hours, grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side; making sure they are fully cooked.

Serve with a drizzle of the reserved marinate, and garnish with cilantro.
