Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl with the marinade.
- Toss the shrimp in the marinade until they are evenly coated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, marinate for 1-2 hours.
- While the shrimp is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, piercing through both the tail and the head ends to keep the shrimp secure.
- Leave a small gap between each shrimp to ensure even cooking.
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and have nice grill marks. Be careful not to overcook, as shrimp can become tough.
- Remove the shrimp skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute.
- Serve the red curry shrimp skewers hot, garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro or Thai basil if desired.
Tips:
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using them to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- Marinate the shrimp in the coconut milk and curry paste mixture for at least 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the shrimp.
- Feel free to add some vegetables, such as bell peppers or onions, to the skewers for added color and nutrition.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan before cooking the skewers to ensure they cook evenly and develop a nice char.
- Brush the skewers with any remaining marinade during cooking for extra flavor and moisture.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Cooking them just until they turn opaque and pink will keep them tender and juicy.
