Grilled Coconut and Pineapple Sweet Chili Shrimp

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!
