Peanut Free Orange-Ginger Shrimp Skewers
Bright citrus, warm ginger, and a sticky-sweet glaze make these shrimp skewers the kind of dish that disappears fast at any cookout or weeknight dinner. The marinade layers fresh orange juice, orange zest, grated ginger, garlic, and a touch of turmeric for color and depth — all whisked together with coconut aminos and coconut oil for a bold, savory base. A reserved portion of that same marinade gets reduced with honey and apple cider vinegar into a glossy glaze that caramelizes beautifully on the grill or under the broiler. Every ingredient here is naturally free of peanuts and peanut-derived products, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out — the recipe just works as written. The shrimp cook in just a few minutes per side, making this a genuinely fast option that still feels impressive enough to serve to guests. Finish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of orange wedge, and you've got a platter that looks like it came from a restaurant kitchen.

6 servings
For the marinade and shrimp
- 2 lbs large shrimp (21–25 count), peeled and deveined, tails on
- ½ cup fresh orange juice (from about 2 oranges)
- 1 tbsp orange zest (from about 1 orange)
- 3 tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
For the glaze
- 1 tbsp raw honey
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
- 1 orange, cut into wedges (optional)
Instructions
- 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, coconut aminos, melted coconut oil, fresh ginger, garlic, ground turmeric, ground ginger, and sea salt until combined. Reserve 3 tablespoons of this marinade in a small saucepan and set aside for the glaze — do this before adding the shrimp.
- 2
Add the shrimp to the remaining marinade in the bowl (or transfer to a large zip-top bag), toss to coat, and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Do not marinate longer than 1 hour, as the citrus will begin to break down the shrimp's texture.
