Red curry shrimp skewers

Get ready to elevate your seafood game with this simple yet flavorful recipe for Red Curry Shrimp Skewers. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a weekend BBQ, these skewers bring together the rich, aromatic flavors of red curry paste with the creaminess of coconut milk, all wrapped around tender, juicy shrimp. Let's dive into this delicious journey!

Ingredients:

8 oz shrimps
230g
2 tbsp coconut milk
30g
1 tbsp curry paste
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the coconut milk and red curry paste. Mix well until they are fully combined into a smooth marinade.
2. Marinate the Shrimp:
- 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.
3. Soak the Skewers (if using wooden ones):
- While the shrimp is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
4. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat.
5. Assemble the Skewers:
- 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.
6. Grill the Shrimp:
- 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.
7. Serve:
- 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.

There you have it – Red Curry Shrimp Skewers that are sure to tantalize your taste buds with their exotic flavors. Serve these skewers with a side of jasmine rice or a fresh salad, and you have a meal that's both impressive and incredibly tasty. Enjoy your culinary creation!
