Yeast Free Mango-Lime Shrimp Skewers
Bright, tropical, and built for the grill, these shrimp skewers deliver serious flavor without a single ingredient that could cause problems for anyone avoiding yeast. The marinade starts with puréed fresh mango blended with lime juice, lime zest, coconut aminos, ginger, and turmeric — no soy sauce, no vinegar, no fermented condiments that typically sneak yeast derivatives into an otherwise clean dish. Coconut aminos do all the savory heavy lifting here, and they're a genuinely great swap that you won't miss at all. The shrimp only need 30 minutes in the marinade before hitting a hot grill, where they cook up pink, juicy, and slightly caramelized at the edges alongside sweet chunks of fresh mango. The dipping sauce — diced mango, more lime, ginger, honey, and cilantro — comes together in minutes and tastes like something you'd order at a beachside restaurant. Everything on this plate is whole, fresh, and naturally free of the fermented or leavened ingredients that make so many sauces and marinades off-limits. Serve with extra lime wedges and a handful of cilantro sprigs and you've got a showstopper that's as easy to pull off as it is impressive.

Place half of the mango cubes (about 3/4 cup) in a blender or use a fork to mash them to a smooth purée. Transfer to a medium bowl and whisk in the lime juice, lime zest, coconut aminos, melted coconut oil, grated ginger, turmeric, and sea salt until combined.
