Thai Style Grilled Shrimp


Just a squeeze of lime juice and 
a sprinkling of chopped cilantro and 
they are ready to serve.

Pat dry the shrimp with paper towels, 
and then skewer, 3 shrimp per small skewer.

Brush on the red curry paste.

I used Thai red curry paste.  If you do not have that 
on hand, look in your refrigerator. Any of these other types of spicy pepper pastes 
will work as well. You may have something different on hand, 
this was just a selection from my refrigerator, to show you as 
an example. 

The curry paste of course will have a more complex
flavor, since it includes the peppers, plus, Garlic, 
Lemongrass, Shallots, Galangal, Shrimp paste, 
Kaffir Lime leaves and salt.

If using a different form of red peppers, other than 
red curry paste, add some lime juice and fish sauce 
to enhance its flavor and give it a Thai influence. 

As Always,
ENJOY!

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. of shrimp, pat dry with paper towels
1 Tbsp. red curry paste
fish sauce or lime juice, as needed
