Spiced Shrimp & Sweet Potato Skewers with Coconut Lime Glaze

These vibrant skewers combine succulent shrimp, sweet potatoes, and a tangy coconut lime glaze for a flavorful and refreshing meal.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Coconut Lime Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, cumin, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp, sweet potatoes, and bell pepper to the bowl, and toss to coat evenly.

  2. Thread the shrimp, sweet potatoes, and bell pepper onto skewers.

  3. In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, lime juice, honey, ginger, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

  4. Grill the skewers over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

  5. Brush the skewers with the coconut lime glaze during the last minute of cooking.

  6. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
