Notes

Storage: Store cooled skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet to avoid overcooking the shrimp. Make-Ahead: You can marinate the shrimp and chop the veggies up to 24 hours in advance. Variations: Substitute chicken breast chunks (increase cook time to 20-25 mins) or firm tofu for a vegetarian option. Serve over coconut rice or a fresh mango salsa.
