Ingredients
For the Shrimp Skewers
For the Lime Chili Sauce
Preparation
Marinating the Shrimp
Mix Marinade
In a bowl, mix lemongrass, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice.
Coat Shrimp
Add the shrimp to the marinade, stirring to coat completely.
Marinate
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.
For a deeper flavor, marinate the shrimp overnight, but do not over-marinate to prevent the acid from 'cooking' them.
Preparing the Lime Chili Sauce
Combine Ingredients
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, chili flakes, and water.
Dissolve Sugar
Stir until the sugar is dissolved and adjust seasoning as needed.
Add Green Onions
Mix in sliced green onions just before serving.
Cooking Process
Skewering
Thread marinated shrimp onto the prepared skewers.
Grilling
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 2–3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
Final Dressing
Brush with additional marinade for extra flavor.
