Ingredients

• 1 lb Chicken breast, beef sirloin, or large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tsp Ground turmeric
• 1 tsp Ground coriander
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tsp Fresh ginger (grated)
• 1 tbsp Lime juice
• 1 cup Peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
• 1 cup Hot water
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 10 Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, turmeric, coriander, cumin, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lime juice to create the marinade.

Step 2

Cut the chicken or beef into thin strips or leave shrimp whole. Add your protein of choice to the marinade and mix to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

While the protein marinates, prepare the peanut sauce. In a saucepan over low heat, whisk together peanut butter, hot water, rice vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 5

Thread the marinated chicken, beef, or shrimp onto soaked skewers, ensuring the pieces are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side or until the chicken and beef are fully cooked and the shrimp are pink and opaque.

Step 7

Serve the satay skewers hot with the peanut dipping sauce on the side.
