Kona Coffee Bbq Shrimp And Coconut Grits Recipes

GRILLED COCONUT SHRIMP WITH SHISHITO PEPPERS

Steps:

• Stir together garlic, lime zest, soy sauce, and ¼ cup oil in a medium bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Add ½ cup coconut and toss again to coat. Let sit while grill heats, at least 5 minutes and up to 30 minutes.
• Prepare a grill for high heat, lightly oil grate.
• Carefully arrange shrimp in an even layer on grate. Grill, carefully turning halfway through, until opaque and lightly charred, about 2 minutes. Some of the coconut will fall off in the process, and that's okay. Transfer to a serving platter.
• Grill peppers, turning occasionally and being careful not to let them fall through grate, until lightly charred all over, about 6 minutes. Transfer to platter with shrimp.
• Top shrimp and peppers with basil, drizzle with lime juice, and sprinkle with sea salt and more coconut.

KONA COAST SHRIMP

Steps:

• With a melon baller, scrape thin slices of coconut from shells until only 1/4-inch rim remains. Use flesh to make coconut stock as described in recipe below. Trim ends of shells so they stand on end.
• Preheat broiler. Warm scraped coconut shells in oven. Heat clarified butter in pan. Add garlic, then shrimp. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 3 minutes. Add onion and cook 2 minutes more.
• Pour off excess butter from pan and add soy sauce. Stir in coconut fat. When melted, add stock and bring to a boil. Add dissolved arrowroot to pan to thicken sauce. Remove from heat and fill warmed coconut shells. Decorate shrimp with remaining coconut shavings and broil for 1 1/2 minutes. Serve immediately.
• Place coconut shavings in bowl and pour water on top. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes. Strain through cheesecloth and cool. Skim coconut fat and reserve.

BBQ SHRIMP AND GRITS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high heat.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot on medium-high heat. Add the onions and brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add in the grits and 6 cups of water and stir over medium-low heat until the grits have absorbed the water and are cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Whisk the cheese into the grits and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
• Line a hot grill with Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil.
• Combine the shrimp, paprika, cumin, and remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a bowl and mix.
• Place the shrimp right onto the foil on the grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked throughout.
• Pour the BBQ sauce on top of the shrimp and mix.
• Serve shrimp with the cheesy grits.
