Marinating the Shrimp

In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, honey, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Add the shrimp, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Let the mixture sit for 10‑15 minutes at room temperature; this short rest allows the flavors to penetrate without “cooking” the shrimp.
