THAI GRILLED TOM YUM SHRIMP RECIPE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Place the lemongrass, garlic, ginger, chili, cilantro, fish sauce, oil, soy sauce, shrimp paste, lime juice, sugar, and onion in a mini-chopper or food processor and blend to create a smooth paste. (Or you can prepare by hand-simply mince the ingredients well and stir together.)
- Place shrimp and scallops, if using, in a large bowl and pour 1/2 to 3/4 of the marinade over the seafood. Mix, ensuring all the seafood is coated. Reserve any remaining marinade for the side sauce.
- Marinate the shrimp and scallops, if using, 10 to 12 minutes. If using wooden satay sticks, soak them in water in a shallow baking dish for 10 minutes to prevent burning.
- Prepare a medium (350°F to 375°F) gas or charcoal grill fire. Remove the seafood from the marinade. Pour the marinade into a small bowl. Slide the shrimp and scallops onto the prepared skewers.
- Grill the skewers, turning once, about 4 minutes total, or until shrimp are pink and plump and have firmed up. Baste the shrimp the first time you turn them with a little of the reserved marinade.
- If making the side sauce, place reserved marinade from the food processor in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer the paste for 30 seconds to 1 minute to warm through. Add the coconut milk , stirring to create a sauce. Taste-test the sauce, adding more sugar if too sour. If too spicy for your taste, add more coconut milk. If too salty, add more lime juice. Add more chili for a spicier sauce.
- Serve the shrimp hot off the grill garnished with cilantro and the warm coconut dipping sauce.

THAI BARBECUE MARINADE
Good on chicken or pork. Not recommend for fish or seafood, as the long marinating time will "cook" the fish and make it tough. Because of the sugar and honey in this, it will burn easily if not watched on the grill (thanks for that info, diner :) ). If you can't find rice wine, use sherry, but not rice vinegar.

- Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.

Tips:
- Use fresh, flavorful ingredients for the best results. High-quality olive oil, fragrant basil, and zesty lemon will make a big difference in the final dish.
- Adjust the ingredients to your taste. If you like a spicier marinade, add more chili flakes. If you prefer a more herbaceous flavor, add more basil or oregano.
- Let the meat marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will give the flavors time to penetrate the meat and make it extra juicy and flavorful.
- When grilling, cook the meat over medium heat until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Be sure to brush the meat with the remaining marinade during cooking to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Serve the grilled meat with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, grilled bread, or a simple salad.
