1

Combine jalapeños, lime zest, lime juice, and garlic in a blender. Add the cilantro, coconut, oil, and soy sauce, then blend until smooth.
2

Place the shrimp in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Pour in the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
3

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
4

Remove the shrimp from the marinade and gently shake off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
5

Thread the shrimp onto skewers, piercing each shrimp near the head and tail.
6

Place the skewers on the preheated grill; cook until nicely browned on all sides and the meat is opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
