Catchy title, ugh? Easy grilled shrimp seasoned with coconut rum, ginger and lime. Fell free to make a cocnut rum drink while cooking shrimp, after all it's 5 o'clock somewhere. Posted for ZWT5, Caribbean.

    Oh, wow! I think I could've happily left out the shrimp and just sucked up the marinade with a straw (what? It's not really any different than Worcestershire sauce in a Bloody Mary, right? LOL). I restrained myself, though, and went through with marinating and grilling the shrimp, and I was glad I did. I think this recipe is just as good (different, but just as good) as our number one favorite grilled shrimp recipe (Oaxacan Grilled Shrimp), and that's saying a lot (we LOVE that recipe)! I only had 1lb of shrimp to use, but I kept the marinade amounts as written. I also didn't have fresh ginger to grate, so I added an equivalent amount of that fresh ginger paste in a tube stuff that you can find in the produce section. Everything else was exactly as written, and the shrimp came out wonderful. I grilled these on my Cuisinart indoor grill for 3 minutes, and they came out perfect. We'll definitely be enjoying these again, thanks for posting! Made for ZWT5 Caribbean.
