Ingredients

  • 60 uncooked peeled deveined medium shrimp (about 2 pounds), thawed if frozen
  • 1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper sauce

Coconut-Curry Sauce

  • 1 cup canned coconut milk (not cream of coconut)
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps

    Soak twenty 6-inch wooden skewers in water 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Make Coconut-Curry Sauce.
  • 2
    Place shrimp in large bowl. Drizzle with oil and pepper sauce; toss to coat. Thread 3 shrimp on each skewer.
  • 3
    Cover and grill kabobs 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 4 to 6 minutes or until shrimp are pink and firm. Serve with sauce.
  • 4
    Mix all sauce ingredients in small microwavable bowl. Microwave uncovered on High about 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until mixture bubbles and thickens.

  • Soak wooden or bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes to keep them from burning on the grill.

  • Arrange the kabobs on a large platter decorated with sprigs of cilantro, green onion fans or fresh lemon grass.
