Ingredients

• 500 grams large prawns (shrimp), peeled and deveined
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened peanut butter
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 120 milliliters coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• 10 pieces skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning while grilling.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, ground coriander, ground turmeric, coconut milk, vegetable oil, and chili flakes (optional). Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Reserve 1/3 of the peanut sauce mixture in a separate small bowl to use as a dipping sauce later.

Step 4

Add the peeled and deveined prawns to the remaining peanut sauce in the mixing bowl. Toss to coat the prawns evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to marinate.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Thread the marinated prawns onto skewers, about 4-5 prawns per skewer, leaving a little space between each prawn.

Step 7

Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the prawns turn pink and are cooked through. Do not overcook, as they can become rubbery.

Step 8

Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer them onto a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Serve the prawn skewers hot with the reserved peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
