Description

In this recipe, the main goal is to infuse the shrimp with as much vibrant flavor as possible during marination while retaining as much juiciness as possible during cooking. A couple of minutes is more than enough for juicy, fresh shrimp.

Ingredients

Peeled Cooked Shrimp - 40 pieces
Lime Juice - 1 tablespoon
Shallot - 2 heads
Brown Sugar - 1½ spoons
Coarse Salt - 1 tablespoon
Kaffir Lime Leaves - 8 pieces
Macadamia Nuts - 5 pieces
Garlic - 4 cloves
Thai Bird's Eye Chili - 3 pieces
Grated Ginger Root - 0.7 oz
Peanut Butter - 3 spoons
Coconut Milk - 2 fl oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the shrimp with lime juice (if using frozen shrimp, make sure to thaw them first and drain thoroughly in a colander).

Step 2

Chop the shallots and blend them with sugar, salt, minced lime leaves, nuts, deseeded chili, and ginger in a blender. Then, heat the resulting mixture in peanut oil in a skillet for three to four minutes, being careful not to let it brown. After that, pour in the coconut milk, stir everything together, and let it cool. Pour the marinade over the shrimp and leave for four hours.

Step 3

Preheat the grill. Soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning. Thread two shrimp onto each skewer and grill for three to five minutes on both sides until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
