1 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil
1/2 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons fish sauce (nam pla)
20 large shrimp, peeled, de-veined
1 cup hickory smoke chips, soaked in water 30 minutes, drained

1/4 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
2 tablespoons canned unsweetened coconut milk
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon soy sauce

  • For peanut sauce: Puree all ingredients in processor until smooth. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before using.) For shrimp: Blend first 8 ingredients in processor until almost smooth. Transfer marinade to 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Add shrimp and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours, turning occasionally. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Place smoke chips in 8x6-inch foil packet with open top. Set atop coals.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still very good. The flavors were great and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again, but I will use less chili next time.

This dish was a bit too bland for me, but it was still good. The flavors were good, but I would have liked it to be a bit spicier. I will definitely be making this again, but I will add more chili next time.
