"Pounding fragrant things - particularly garlic, basil, parsley - is a tremendous antidote to depression." -Patience Gray, Author and artist
The combination of the rich Asian flavors of the coconut milk, garlic, lime, ginger, hoisin and basil work amazingly well with the sweet shrimp.
Roasting the shrimp in the oven is a perfect way to cook the shrimp, but they are also great on the grill. It is best to put them on skewers first. Use two skewers and arrange the shrimp like the rungs of a ladder before putting them in the marinade. This makes them easy to handle on the grill.
These shrimp are great served with the peanut sauce but are terrific as leftovers. They make great sandwiches or you can cut them up and toss them into salads.
Servings: 4 | Serving size: 4 ounces shrimp and 2 tablespoons peanut sauce
Cooking Time: 30 Minutes (does not include marinating time)
This recipe can easily be multiplied and the chilled leftover shrimp are delicious in salads or sandwiches.
We recommend serving with Coconut Rice [Coconut Rice - Low Sodium Version] as well as Thai Cucumber Salad or Bok Choy Slaw and garnished with Thai Peanut Sauce.
Place the low-fat coconut milk, minced garlic, lime juice, minced ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, maple syrup and basil in a blender and puree until smooth.
Put the shrimp in a zipper bag and add the marinade.
Seal tightly and place in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours (overnight is best). Turn the bag from time to time to redistribute the marinade.
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 400°F.
Place a large skillet in the oven and let heat for at least 10 minutes.
Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet.
As they sear on one side, top the other with about half of the marinade.
The shrimp will grill fast and should be turned after about three minutes.
Spread the remaining marinade over the top of the shrimp and grill for another 4 – 5 minutes.
Serve over Coconut Rice with 2 tablespoons of Thai Peanut Sauce.
