Thai Grilled Marinated Shrimp Recipe

Having said that this is marinaded, you don't need too long for the preparation because the marinade can be used as a glaze to brush on during the cooking process and to make it easy, I've chosen to thread the shrimps onto my barbecue skewers.

So if you're on for some heat and sweet, get those skewers onto to soak.

Ingredients:-

• 2 dozen raw shrimp tails (peeled and veined)
• 1 finely chopped lemon-grass stalk
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander
• 1 inch cube ginger peeled & crushed
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 red chili, chopped (with seeds)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Thai fish sauce
• Juice of one lime
• 2 tablespoon honey

Method:-

Crush the ginger in a garlic crusher over your marinade bowl and capture all the juice and any flesh that comes through (discard the dry pulp that remains in the crusher). Now crush the garlic, add the remainder of the ingredients and mix well. Finally throw in the raw shrimp tails.

You can marinade for as long or short a time as you like. I prefer to give it at least an hour before threading the shrimp tails onto skewers.

Grill the shrimps over hot coals until pink on both sides and brush with more of the marinade – the honey in the marinade will help form a sweet chili coating.

Serve the skewer over salad leaves and with a wedge of lime or scallion shavings (or both).
