Ingredients
500 g medium-sized shrimp
2 pieces lime, juice extracted
3 thinly sliced lime leaves
3 tbsp honey
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp pepper
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp sweet soy sauce
Salt to taste
Adequate butter
Adequate water
- Ground Spices:
6 curly red chilies
3 shallots
3 cloves garlic
2 cm ginger
Directions
- Clean the shrimp by splitting the back, then soak them in lime juice for approximately 15 minutes.
- Grind all the ground spices and sauté with a bit of butter. Sauté until fragrant, then add coriander, pepper, sweet soy sauce, lime leaves, oyster sauce, honey, salt, and water. Stir until the liquid reduces.
- Marinate the shrimp with the sautéed seasoning for 30 minutes. Afterward, skewer the shrimp onto satay sticks for grilling.
- Prepare grilling equipment and grill the shrimp over charcoal. Occasionally baste the shrimp with the prepared marinade. Add a little butter if necessary.
- Once cooked, serve the shrimp satay with chili sauce and lime.
TIPS
- Opt for fresh shrimp for the best results. Cleaning and soaking them in lime juice not only removes any fishy odor but also enhances their flavor.
- Let the shrimp soak in the marinade for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to infuse thoroughly, ensuring each bite bursts with taste.
- When grilling the shrimp, baste them generously with the marinade intermittently. This helps lock in moisture and intensifies the flavors.
- Use skewers that have been soaked in water beforehand to prevent them from burning while grilling.
- Adjust the seasoning according to your preference. Add a dash of extra sweetness with honey or elevate the spice levels with more chili for a personalized touch.
