Time 25m

Yield 4 servings for appetizer, 2 servings for entree

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 large raw shrimp (wild U-10 or 15/20 count) peeled, deveined and cut in "fan" shape (similar to butterfly)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (from1 small lime), plus lime wedges for garnish
1 teaspoon Thai chili sauce (recommended: Sriracha) or more, to taste
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
2 tablespoons bottled minced garlic or 6 fresh cloves, minced
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 Thai chile, sliced thin or habanero or Scotch bonnet
1/4 cup canola or olive oil
1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
4 to 5 grinds black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a grill to medium-high heat.
  • Put the shrimp into a glass bowl. Whisk the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl and pour 1/2 to 2/3 if it over the shrimp. (Reserve the remaining marinade to brush on the shrimp during grilling.) Allow the shrimp to marinate for only 8 to 10 minutes or the lime juice will begin to "cook" the shrimp. Grill the shrimp, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side while brushing with the reserved marinade. I use a silicone brush. Remove the shrimp from the grill to a platter and serve garnished with lime wedges.

Categories     Entree     Dinner     Appetizer

Time 44m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the Marinade:
1/4 cup frozen prepared lemongrass or fresh lemongrass (available at Asian stores)
5 cloves garlic
1 thumb-size piece ginger or galangal
1 fresh red chili, or 3/4 teaspoon crushed chili
1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro (fresh coriander), leaves and stems
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce , or 1 1/2 teaspoons regular soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon shrimp paste (available at Asian stores)
3 tablespoons lime juice
3 heaping teaspoons brown sugar
2 spring onions (sliced)
For the Shrimp:
12 to 18 medium to large shrimp
Optional: 12 to 18 small scallops
Optional: 1/4 cup coconut milk or heavy cream for a side sauce
Garnish: A handful of fresh cilantro (fresh coriander) leaves

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Place the lemongrass, garlic, ginger, chili, cilantro, fish sauce, oil, soy sauce, shrimp paste, lime juice, sugar, and onion in a mini-chopper or food processor and blend to create a smooth paste. (Or you can prepare by hand-simply mince the ingredients well and stir together.)
  • Place shrimp and scallops, if using, in a large bowl and pour 1/2 to 3/4 of the marinade over the seafood. Mix, ensuring all the seafood is coated. Reserve any remaining marinade for the side sauce.
  • Marinate the shrimp and scallops, if using, 10 to 12 minutes. If using wooden satay sticks, soak them in water in a shallow baking dish for 10 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Prepare a medium (350°F to 375°F) gas or charcoal grill fire. Remove the seafood from the marinade. Pour the marinade into a small bowl. Slide the shrimp and scallops onto the prepared skewers.
  • Grill the skewers, turning once, about 4 minutes total, or until shrimp are pink and plump and have firmed up. Baste the shrimp the first time you turn them with a little of the reserved marinade.
  • If making the side sauce, place reserved marinade from the food processor in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer the paste for 30 seconds to 1 minute to warm through. Add the coconut milk , stirring to create a sauce. Taste-test the sauce, adding more sugar if too sour. If too spicy for your taste, add more coconut milk. If too salty, add more lime juice. Add more chili for a spicier sauce.
  • Serve the shrimp hot off the grill garnished with cilantro and the warm coconut dipping sauce.

  • Serve the shrimp immediately. They are best enjoyed hot off the grill.
