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
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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).

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates with olive oil or avocado oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers if desired, or cook them directly on the grill grates.

Step 5

Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side or until they are cooked through and opaque.

Step 6

Remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 7

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.
