Stir in coconut milk, peanut butter, lime juice and half of the cilantro. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook uncovered for approximately 10 minutes until the sauce beings to thicken. Adjust the seasoning and set aside until it is time to serve.
Preheat the grill to high.
Remove the shrimp and discard of the marinade. Pat the shrimp dry and bring to the grill. Oil the grill liberally to avoid sticking. Cook the shrimp for 2 minutes per side until pink. Brush them with some of the peanut sauce after the first flip.
Sprinkle the remaining cilantro into the sauce just prior to serving.
