GRILLED CARIBBEAN COCONUT SHRIMP WITH RUM MARINADE



Grilled Caribbean Coconut Shrimp With Rum Marinade image

Taken from chilicheesefries.net; posted for ZWT 5. "This recipe is fantastic for any time you want to cook out with Caribbean inspired flavors such as rum, allspice, citrus, cinnamon, Scotch bonnet peppers and cilantro. While not quite jerk, the influence is definitely there. I love to serve these freakishly good tasting grilled shrimp over a bed of mashed sweet potatoes topped with fresh grilled pineapple slices that have been marinated in dark brown sugar. Serve all this up with a few pitchers of mojitos and you may think you are on vacation or at least just wished you were. Pass the rum please."
