Steps:
- Preheat the grill to high.
- In a large, nonreactive bowl, combine the lemongrass, ginger, garlic, scallion greens, soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey and whisk well. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Skewer the shrimp, scallion whites, and red bell peppers onto skewers in whatever order you like. There should be 4 to 6 shrimp per skewer.
- Place the skewers on a flat plate and drizzle with peanut oil. It is not necessary to salt the skewers because soy sauce has so much salt in it. Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook about 3 minutes per side, or just until the shrimp curls, turns red and does not appear clear at all. Be careful not to overcook.
- Place the whole radicchio leaves around the edge of a platter. Mound the chiffonade radicchio and watercress inside the leaves and around the platter. Remove the skewers from the grill and place on the bed of greens. Squeeze the juice of a lime over the shrimp.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH FIERY LEMONGRASS-CHILE SAMBAL
Steps:
- For sambal :
- Combine 6 Thai bird chiles (or 2 serrano or jalapeño chiles) and next 12 ingredients in processor. Using on/off turns, blend until finely chopped and paste forms. If spicier sambal is desired, add more chopped chiles to taste and blend again until paste forms. Transfer sambal to small bowl. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add sambal and cook until fragrant and lightly browned, stirring constantly and adding more oil by tablespoonfuls if mixture is dry, about 7 minutes. Add 1 cup water; reduce heat to medium and simmer until most of water is absorbed but mixture is still creamy, stirring often, about 4 minutes. Transfer to small bowl and cool. DO AHEAD:Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover sambal and chill.
- For marinade and shrimp:
- Whisk lime juice, 3 tablespoons oil, and 2 tablespoons sambal in small bowl. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Rewhisk marinade before using, adding more oil by teaspoonfuls if marinade is thick.
- If using unpeeled shrimp, use kitchen scissors to cut shrimp shell along rounded back of tail; scrape out vein with tip of bamboo skewer or tip of small knife. Place peeled or unpeeled shrimp in large glass baking dish. Brush shrimp all over with marinade. Allow shrimp to marinate at room temperature at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush grill rack with oil. Grill shrimp until just opaque in center, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer shrimp to platter. Rewarm remaining sambal and serve alongside for dipping or for spooning atop shrimp.
- Ingredient tip:
- Unpeeled shrimp cook up more succulent and flavorful but are a bit messier to eat than peeled shrimp (which you can use, if you prefer). For ease of preparation, the seafood department at some supermarkets sells uncooked unpeeled shrimp that have already been deveined.

THAI SHRIMP LEMONGRASS SALAD
The Thai chili paste is sweeter and has lemongrass in it. You may find it in your local Asian store, or even from your local Thai restaurant. To make regular chili paste, sauté oil with yellow onion and garlic until soft, then add chili powder and paprika for color. I would grill the shrimp for extra flavor. This makes a small appetizer for 2 people, or a nice sized one for one.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH FIERY LEMONGRASS-CHILE SAMBAL
Steve Raichlen visited 53 countries (6 or 7 continents - if you include the occasional barbcue obsessed scientist stationed in Antartica) on a quest to get to the heart of the most universal cooking method grilling over an open flame. Most countries have evolved their unique grills, rubs, marinades, grilling techniques, and styles of barbecue & that way, the country grills say a lot about its culture. True, a lot of great grilling takes place on Third World street corners, but you can also find some pretty amazing barbecue at luxury resorts. This comes from the hotel Amandari in Indonesia, which is built right into a rice paddy near the artist town of Ubud in Bali Dinner began with a Balinese welcome dance performed by local children They dined at a table for two strewn with rose petals in an open pavilion facing a lily pond. There was a team of chefs that cooked for them alone, on portable grills over charcoal (the best way for excellent flavor!) The succesion of dishes revealed Balinese cooking in all its polymorphic glory. A profoundly complex cuisine only hinted at in the food at your typical street-corner stall, Bon Appetit Magazine, July 2009 edition. The shrimp is grilled with an aromatic paste of lemongrass, ginger, turmeric, chile peppers & paprika. There is a 15-30 minute marinating time not included.:)

Tips:
- Choose fresh, large shrimp for best results. Smaller shrimp can be used, but they will need to be cooked for a shorter amount of time.
- Make sure the shrimp is deveined and peeled before grilling. This will help to remove any sand or grit from the shrimp.
- Use a well-seasoned grill to prevent the shrimp from sticking. You can also use a grill mat to help keep the shrimp from falling through the grates.
- Cook the shrimp over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque. Do not overcook the shrimp, as this will make them tough.
- Let the shrimp cool slightly before adding them to the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming too warm.
- Use fresh herbs and vegetables in the salad for the best flavor. You can use any type of herbs or vegetables that you like, but some good options include cilantro, basil, mint, tomatoes, cucumbers, and avocados.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. The salad can be served as a main course or a side dish.
Conclusion:
Grilled shrimp salad with lemongrass and chilies is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout or potluck. The shrimp is grilled to perfection and the salad is packed with fresh flavors. This recipe is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
