Brazil Nut Free Zucchini Mango-Lime Shrimp Skewers

These skewers are a full-on summer moment — juicy shrimp, sweet mango cubes, and tender zucchini rounds all threaded together and kissed by the grill. The marinade is where the magic happens: fresh mango gets blended with lime juice, lime zest, coconut aminos, ginger, turmeric, and garlic into a bright, tropical sauce that coats every single shrimp before it ever hits the heat. A smart move here is reserving a few tablespoons of that marinade before the raw shrimp touch it, so you have a clean, caramelized glaze to brush on during the final minute of grilling. Because every ingredient in this recipe is naturally free from tree nut concerns, you can skip the label-reading stress and just focus on getting a good sear. The coconut oil keeps things rich without any dairy, and the coconut aminos add a savory depth that plays beautifully against the citrus. Serve them straight off the grill with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime, and watch them disappear from the platter before you've even sat down.
