How to Prepare Grilled Shrimp with Satay
-
Prepare the Shrimp
After buying the shrimp, you can either keep or trim the whiskers and legs to make it easier to prepare.
Gently break the head of the shrimp and squeeze out all the waste inside the shrimp’s head.
You can use your hands or a knife to pull off the vein on the back of the shrimp. Then rinse with water and let the shrimp drain.
-
Marinating shrimp
Wash the lemongrass, crush it, and then chop it finely.
Put the shrimp in a large bowl and add the finely chopped lemongrass. Add 2 tablespoons of shrimp paste, 1 teaspoon of seasoning, and 1 teaspoon of sugar, then mix everything well.
You should not add too much sugar as it will make the grilled shrimp easily burnt.
After marinating, let it sit for about 20 – 30 minutes for the shrimp to absorb the spices before grilling.
-
Grilling shrimp
After marinating the shrimp for about 20 – 30 minutes, use a skewer to pierce through the shrimp body. This method will help prevent the shrimp from curling up, keeping their original shape more appealing when grilled.
Prepare an electric grill or charcoal grill, place a grilling rack on the grill, and then place each shrimp on the grill to cook.
You should spread them out evenly, not stacking them on top of each other, as this will help the dish cook evenly and taste better.
You also should not grill for too long, or the shrimp will become dry and lose their flavor.
