Walnut 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 blended from fresh mango, lime juice, coconut aminos, ginger, turmeric, and garlic, so every bite carries this bright, tropical depth that tastes way more complex than the ingredient list suggests. A portion of that marinade gets reserved as a finishing glaze, brushed on in the last minute of grilling for a sticky, caramelized coating that makes these genuinely hard to stop eating. The whole build is naturally free of tree nuts without any substitutions or workarounds — just clean, bold ingredients doing exactly what they're supposed to do. Coconut oil keeps everything glossy and adds a subtle richness that plays beautifully against the citrus and heat. Serve them straight off the grill with a squeeze of fresh lime and a scatter of cilantro, and you've got a dish that looks impressive enough for company but comes together with very little fuss.
