SPICY THAI GRILLED SHRIMP RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix lime juice, fish or soy sauce, mustard powder, garlic, brown sugar and curry paste together in a shallow baking dish or medium-sized mixing bowl until completely combined.
• Dry any excess moisture from peeled and deveined shrimp, add to marinade then stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 45 minutes while preheating grill to medium heat.
• When grill is hot, move coals to one side of grill or turn off burners on one side of grill. Lightly oil grill grates on the side without direct heat underneath. If desired, thread shrimp onto skewers or place them individually onto the oiled section of the grill.
• Grill shrimp 2-3 minutes per side or until firm and opaque. Remove from grill to a platter and squeeze a bit of fresh lime juice over shrimp. Brush or toss with sweet chili sauce or serve it on the side.

SPICY THAI BASIL GRILLED SHRIMP WITH SOUR MANGO SALAD

Steps:

• Using a paring knife, cut through the back shell of each shrimp. Remove the dark vein by running your forefinger between the shell and the flesh of each shrimp, keeping the shell intact. Reserve shrimp in a re-sealable gallon plastic bag.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved, then add the fish sauce. Add the garlic, chile, Thai basil, and 1 tablespoon oil. Stir well and pour over the reserved shrimp in the plastic bag. Seal the bag, squeezing out the air. Massage the bag to make sure that all of the shrimp are covered and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Heat a grill pan over high heat. Oil the grill pan with remaining oil. Grill the shrimp, turning once to prevent burning, until evenly pink and golden on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve shrimp on large plate over Sour Mango Salad.
• Mix the mangos, carrots, and chiles in a large bowl.
• For the dressing: in a medium bowl, whisk together the lime, fish sauce, and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the dressing to the bowl and toss together. Let stand 20 minutes. Drain and serve at room temperature or lightly chilled.

THAI GRILLED TOM YUM SHRIMP RECIPE

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.

GRILLED THAI CHILE GARLIC SHRIMP

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.

SPICY THAI GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• 1. Mix the hot sauce, Worcestershire, oil, cilantro, sugar and garlic in a glass bowl large enough to hold the shrimp. 2. Add the shrimp to the bowl and place in the refrigerator. 3. Allow the shrimp to marinate for 1 - 2 hours. The longer the time, the spicier the shrimp, but don't go longer than 2 hours. 4. Preheat the grill to medium-high. 5. While the grill heats up, skewer the marinated shrimp. 6. Grill the marinated shrimp skewers for about 3 minutes per side. Be careful not to over-cook the shrimp, they are done once they turn opaque.
