Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup Coconut yogurt (unsweetened)
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Ginger, grated
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 0.5 tsp Turmeric powder
- 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 tsp Sea salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper, ground
- 2 tbsp Olive oil or avocado oil

Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper.
Add the raw shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates with olive oil or avocado oil to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers if desired, or cook them directly on the grill grates.
Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side or until they are cooked through and opaque.
Remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve immediately. Pair with a side of cauliflower rice or a fresh green salad for a complete paleo-friendly meal.
