Pork Skewers with Peanut Sauce

Combine 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce, 1 teaspoon chopped garlic, 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, and 2 tablespoons water in a blender. Purée until smooth. Pour 1/2 cup peanut butter sauce into a small bowl; set aside for dipping sauce. Place 1 lb. pork tenderloin cut into 1" cubes in a medium bowl; add remaining peanut butter sauce; toss to coat. Cover and chill pork mixture for 1 hour. Soak eight 10"-12" bamboo skewers in hot tap water for 20 minutes; drain. Thread 4-6 pieces pork onto each skewer. Season pork skewers well with salt and pepper and grill 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through. Serve with reserved dipping sauce.
