I have been seeing something called “banging shrimp” or “bang-bang shrimp” on pinterest which is essentially grilled shrimp coated in a mixture of sweet chili sauce and mayonnaise and it looked so good that I pinned it to try later. As I was thinking about making it I had an idea, why not swap out the mayonnaise for coconut cream which would be just as creamy as the mayo and add a tropical vibe to the shrimp! With the tropical theme going I could not resist adding some pineapple to the mix, since they go so well together, and I did so by making a pineapple sweet chili sauce. So the final recipe ended up being grilled shrimp coated in a mixture of coconut cream and pineapple sweet chili sauce and it is absolutely divine! Coconut and pineapple is an amazing flavour combo and it goes so well with grilled shrimp! Seriously, I gobbled up an entire batch and had to make a second one to photograph!
Irresistible grilled meat on a stick!

Grilled coconut and pineapple?! You're killing me here! This looks amazing and so full of my favorite flavors!

this is gorgeous! love the pineapple!
The pineapple and shrimp together looks amazing…and beautiful!!
The sweet and Spicy combo sounds great and my boys will enjoy the shrimp!
Kevin, swapping mayo with coconut cream is a very smart idea…. specially for person like me who can't eat mayo 🙂 and this shrimp looks absolutely delicious! *major drool*
Love the sweetness in this sauce!
what is the green garnish sprinkled on the skewer???
Anonymous: The green garnish is lime zest.
This is an absolute must try recipe. Problem is I don't like coconut and saw where you switched mayo for the coconut cream. How much mayo would this recipe be to switch it back to mayo based? Thank you for all your recipe ideas. You are fantastic.
Lexy: Use the same amount, 3 tablespoons of mayo instead of the coconut cream. Enjoy!
Yummy! Perfect summer meal 🙂

Confused about how much pineapple to puree with sweet chili sauce…?
This sounds great. Can't wait to try 🙂
This was AMAZING. One of the best meals I've made in awhile. I used fresh pineapple which was great on the grill. Thanks so much for the recipe. We'll be making it again next week.
Too sweet for my taste buds. any suggestions?
Ok this recipe looks absolutely TO DIE FOR. Except not all of the family are shrimp eaters. Do you think if I substituted chicken instead of shrimp on some of the skewers it would still taste good???
great photos you might wanna
let people know to soak the skewers
Not sure which is killing me harder, this mouthwatering recipe, or the 32 ads my ad blocker has had to block.
I made this and served it atop a trioolor quinoa accompanied by a peach avocado salsa and sprinkled toasted coconut on top of it all and drizzled with extra sauce and dabs of siracha. Delicious!
Made these for a shower I was hosting. Glad I did a test run. I am usually a big fan of Closet Cooking but this recipe…not so much! Sorry!
Oh yum. Definitely going to try this!
I made this but, I made the sauce with 1cup of coconut cream 1 cup of sweet chili pineapple sauce then reserved half cup aside. Used the rest and marinated shrimp, scallops and pineapple chunks overnight. Skewered them up the next afternoon and grilled brushing with remaining sauce while grilling. Delicious!
Woooow…..So easy to do…I think I will look for these and try your recipe this weekend. Thank you for sharing!
Dang Thai from Embeya !
yummy recipes
Twenty two “reviews”–four people actually made the recipe. So for “you’re killing me” and “major drool” and “TO DIE FOR”—make the recipe and then review. No one cares what you think the recipe looks like. So tiresome.
How much puree pineapple do I add to the store-bought chili sauce? And how much sauce???
For this recipe I would simply mix 1 tablespoon of pineapple puree into 2 tablespoons of sweet chili sauce, giving you the 3 tablespoons used in the recipe. Enjoy!
