Ingredients
- Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Prosciutto, sliced
- Mango, diced
- Coconut milk
- Lime juice
- Garlic, minced
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the shrimp. In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with coconut milk, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Ensure the shrimp are well-coated in the marinade. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the prosciutto. Cut the prosciutto slices into halves or thirds, depending on their size. This will make them easier to wrap around the shrimp later.
- After the shrimp has marinated, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 10 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
- Take a piece of prosciutto and wrap it around each marinated shrimp, securing it gently. If using skewers, thread the wrapped shrimp onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp for even cooking.
- Once the grill is ready, place the skewers on the grill. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, and the prosciutto becomes crispy. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become tough.
- While the shrimp is grilling, prepare the mango. Dice the mango into small cubes and set aside in a serving bowl.
- After grilling, remove the shrimp skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute. This will help retain their juiciness.
- To serve, place the grilled coconut lime shrimp on a platter alongside the diced mango. You can drizzle some additional lime juice over the top for an extra burst of flavor. Garnish with lime wedges or fresh cilantro if desired.
- Enjoy your tropical grilled coconut lime shrimp with prosciutto and mango as a delightful appetizer or main dish!
Tips
- Marinate for Maximum Flavor: Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 15 minutes, but if you have time, let them sit for up to an hour. This enhances the flavors and makes the shrimp even more delicious.
- Choose the Right Prosciutto: Look for high-quality prosciutto that is thinly sliced. This will ensure it crisps up nicely on the grill and wraps around the shrimp without overpowering them.
- Soak Skewers: If you're using wooden skewers, don't forget to soak them in water for about 10 minutes before grilling. This prevents them from burning and helps keep your shrimp intact.
- Watch the Grill: Keep an eye on the shrimp while grilling. They cook quickly—about 2-3 minutes per side—so be careful not to overcook them, or they may become tough.
- Serve Fresh: For the best experience, serve the dish immediately after grilling. The combination of warm shrimp and fresh mango creates a delightful contrast in temperatures and flavors.
- Garnish for Presentation: Enhance your dish’s visual appeal by garnishing with lime wedges or fresh cilantro. Not only does it look beautiful, but it also adds an extra burst of flavor.
- Experiment with Sides: This dish pairs wonderfully with a light salad or coconut rice for a complete tropical meal.Enjoy crafting this delicious recipe and impress your family and friends with your culinary skills!
