Instructies
- In a bowl (large) combine together the ginger, lemon grass, garlic, cilantro, chili and oil.
- Then add the shrimps and let them marinate in the sauce made for 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Whilst the shrimps are marinating in the sauce you can now start heating up the barbecue placing the grill about 6 inches above the heat source.
- This will then enable you to cook the shrimps that you will thread on to skewers on a medium to high heat.
- Now into a food processor place the lime juice, rice vinegar, mirin, soy sauce and water and blend.
- Then add to this the lime zest, ginger, fish sauce, chilies, garlic and peanut butter and process until the mixture becomes smooth.
- Whilst these ingredients are combining together slowly pour in the peanut oil until the mixture looks smooth and creamy.
- Pour this mixture into a bowl and then stir into it the mint, cilantro and chopped peanuts.
- Add some salt if needed.
- To cook the shrimps remove them from the marinade, shaking off any excess and thread them on to skewers then cook them on either side for about 2 minutes or until they have turned pink and firm.
- Once cooked serve on a plate immediately with the sauce beside them.
