Spicy Shrimp & Zucchini Skewers with Coconut Lime Glaze

These vibrant skewers are bursting with flavor, featuring juicy shrimp, tender zucchini, and a tangy coconut lime glaze. Perfect for a summer barbecue or weeknight dinner!

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 medium zucchini, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into chunks
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Coconut Lime Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, zucchini, bell pepper, olive oil, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  2. Thread the shrimp and vegetables alternately onto skewers.
  3. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
  4. While the skewers are grilling, prepare the coconut lime glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, lime juice, honey, and cilantro. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes).
  5. Brush the glaze over the cooked skewers just before serving.

Enjoy!
