Another way to make this tasty shrimp dish is to marinate the shrimp in the garlic, coconut oil, and jalapeno. Then, skewer the shrimp on metal or bamboo skewers. Grill the marinated shrimp for about 3 minutes on each side and then serve! Grilling the shrimp adds a tasty char to the dish that you can't get when you cook the shrimp in a saute pan. Yes, the pan will make a tasty dish but, using the grill will take the shrimp to a whole new level of tasty. If you don't have an outdoor grill, a small countertop version, like a George Forman grill, will work as well. Definitely use the grill in the summer when grilling is the only acceptable way to cook!
