Shrimp Marinade:
1 pound fresh shrimp
Generous 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 shallot, finely chopped
2+ tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
2+ tablespoons brown sugar
Coconut Rice:
1 1/2 cup well-stirred canned unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup long-grain white rice
Garnish: 1/2 cup chopped cilantro

1
Shrimp Marinade: Whisk all of the marinade ingredients for the shrimp, peel and de-vein shrimp, and marinade in a glass (or otherwise non-reactive) bowl for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2
Coconut Rice: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan bring coconut milk, water, and salt to a boil and stir in rice. Reduce heat to moderately low and simmer rice, covered, until most of liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
3
Remove pan from heat and let rice stand, covered, 5 minutes.
4
Cooking the Shrimp: When almost ready to serve, heat a grill pan on high until hot, and put shrimp on skewers, 5 to a skewer, so that they lay flat. Sprinkle shrimp with a bit more brown sugar, and place the skewers on the grill pan and baste with half of remaining marinade. Turn after 2 minutes and baste with remaining marinade. When shrimp are firm, (2-3 minutes on each side) remove and set on serving dish. Continue to cook liquid in pan until slightly caramelized, then pour or brush over shrimp skewers.
5
Serve with rice, and garnish with remaining 1/2 cup chopped cilantro.
