I think these are the best shrimp I have ever had! Growing up on the Chesapeake Bay I would consider myself a seafood snob. These hands down are the best. I am forwarding the recipe on to all of my family members as we speak :-) The only changes I made was I used one seeded jalapeno instead of two jalapeno's and it was perfect. I also used low sodium soy sauce instead of regular.

1 tablespoon of lime, that's what I will try next time. I used a whole lime as the recipe shows -- but it was very ripe and the shrimp ended up citrusy for my liking. Next time I'll just measure a fixed amount of lime juice to control the taste. Otherwise I liked the recipe. I didn't find the marinade thick as much as I found it chunky. Next time I would save a portion of clean marinade to make an dipping sauce with mayo as another review suggested.

Made exactly as it but can only give one star! The soy sauce totally overpowered everything and the shrimp simply tasted overly salty and soy-ish! I will try this again with about 25% of the soy that it calls for and may add some brown sugar, maybe 50% more lime juice and garlic and will leave in some seeds from the jalapenos to bring some heat!

This was a good "Asian" Grilled Shrimp recipe, but I couldn't taste any coconut. I made a half batch but added almost the full amount of coconut as well as at least 3 tbs of coconut milk. I think the soy sauce is such a strong flavor it overpowers other flavors. As I said, good as a soy-garlic grilled shrimp. If I made again I'd cut way back or even omit the soy sauce and just use a little or use all coconut milk in the marinade.

Perfect! Fresh tasting with a little heat. Followed the recipe exactly except used 2 pounds of jumbo shrimp. There was plenty of marinade. Also it didn't say either way but had a coconut so used freshly grated coconut.

This was delicious! I decided to add some peppers and onions to the skewers and marinated them as well, It all turned out great!

I wasn't so sure about this recipe after putting the marinade together, as it didn't look very appetizing,but the flavors really blended together and made a good shrimp. It was spicy, but not too spicy. The coconut flavor wasn't very strong though. I may try adding coconut milk like other reviewers did next time.

This marinade is really delicious! I didn't have jalepenos, so just added a bit of sriracha and that gave it are really nice kick and I highly recommend that addition to anyone looking for more heat in the dish. I also had some coconut milk which I also added and I think it gave it a stronger coconut flavor than had I only used shredded coconut. This recipe is also very successful in a pan. Highly recommend!
