To make marinade, puree 1/4 cup coconut with orange juice, honey, tamari and cayenne in a blender. Pour marinade into a shallow baking dish. Cut tempeh into 3/4-inch cubes and add to marinade. Set aside 15 minutes. In a small bowl, blend together peanut sauce ingredients with a wire whisk. Refrigerate until serving time.

Brush shish kabobs with marinade and sprinkle with remaining coconut. Serve immediately with Asian Peanut Sauce.
