Mushroom Free Zucchini Mango-Lime Shrimp Skewers

These skewers are a full-on flavor celebration — juicy shrimp, sweet mango chunks, and tender zucchini rounds all kissed by the grill and glazed with a bright, tropical marinade. The base of that marinade is blended fresh mango with lime juice, lime zest, coconut aminos, ginger, turmeric, and garlic, which means every bite carries this layered, citrusy depth that tastes way more complex than the ingredient list suggests. Coconut aminos keep things savory without any soy, and the whole build is completely free of fungi — no hidden umami boosters or anything that could sneak in unwanted. The move of reserving a few tablespoons of marinade as a finishing glaze is the kind of small step that makes a big difference, caramelizing beautifully on the grill in that last minute of cook time. Alternating shrimp with mango cubes and zucchini on the skewer isn't just pretty — it keeps everything cooking evenly and makes each bite a little different. A scatter of fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime at the end ties the whole platter together with a pop of freshness that's hard to resist.
