Usually shrimps are boiled or prepared in some other way, but the grill option can be called exotic.

Chefs assure that this is not just an alternative to traditional shashlik, but also a great way to prepare an amazing delicacy in a matter of minutes.

To prepare you will need:

  • tiger prawns (raw);
  • vegetable oil - 2 tbsp;
  • sugar - 1 tsp;
  • fish sauce - 2 tsp;
  • grated ginger (fresh) - 1 tsp;
  • 2 stalks lemongrass;
  • lime, mint to taste.

How to cook

You need to start by preparing the marinade.

To do this, you need to grind lemongrass stems and ginger root into a paste in a blender.

When ready, add sugar, fish sauce and vegetable oil to the resulting mixture, and then mix thoroughly.

Now you need to peel the shrimp and place them in the prepared marinade.

Chefs recommend immediately threading the meat onto skewers, with the meat positioned lengthwise.

The appetizer is marinated for 1 hour in a cool place.

Bake the shrimp on the coals for 1-2 minutes on each side.

Serve with fresh vegetables or garnish with mint leaves, cucumber and lime slices.

Bon appetit!
