Ingredients

For the Marinade:
1 1/2-2 tablespoons oyster sauce (Thai oyster sauce or Lee Kum Kee)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
4 to 6 cloves garlic (minced, to taste)
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 red chili pepper (minced, or 1/3 teaspoon dried crushed chili; to taste)
For the Stir-Fry:
12 to 15 medium to large shrimp (or prawns ; butterflied, shells can be removed or left on)
2 to 3 tablespoons oil (for stir-frying)
Garnish: 1 lemon (cut into wedges)
Garnish: 1/2 cup coriander (fresh)

Steps:

Gather the ingredients.
In a bowl, combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, garlic, lime juice, and chili pepper. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
Place shrimp in the marinade and stir well to coat.
In a wok or frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp along with the marinade.
Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until the shrimp are plump and pink. They will also be lightly browned from the sauce. Avoid overcooking or the shrimp will turn rubbery.
Test the sauce for taste and adjust as needed to achieve a salty-sweet balance. Add more sugar if it's too sour. If it's too salty or sweet, add more lime juice.
Top the shrimp with coriander and add some lemon slices on the side. Enjoy!

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings for appetizer, 2 servings for entree

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

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.

Time 44m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

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.

Tips:

Choose the right shrimp. For this recipe, medium or large shrimp work best. They should be deveined and peeled, with the tails removed.
Make sure the shrimp is dry. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels before marinating or cooking. This will help the marinade or seasoning to adhere to the shrimp.
Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
Use a hot grill. The shrimp will cook best on a hot grill. This will help to sear the shrimp and prevent it from sticking to the grill.
Serve the shrimp immediately. Shrimp is best served hot off the grill. You can garnish it with chopped cilantro, lime wedges, or a dipping sauce of your choice.

Conclusion:

Thai-style broiled shrimp is a delicious and easy seafood dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer or main course. The shrimp is marinated in a flavorful blend of Thai spices and then grilled to perfection. With the tips above, you'll have a delicious grilled shrimp dish in no time!
