Grilled Lemongrass Shrimp - Vietnamese Tom Nuong Xa image

Lemongrass is used as skewers in this recipe, but it's optional and you can certainly use bamboo sticks instead. The recipe is ideal for outdoor grill, indoor grill, or under the broiler and makes 1 skewer with 3 shrimp per person as appetizer for 4 servings. If you want to make this as main dish, make 2-3 skewers per person.

I've never had grilled lemongrass shrimp before, but this recipe made me a fan! The shrimp were juicy and flavorful, and the marinade was the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and savory. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a fail. The shrimp were tough and the marinade was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

The shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the marinade was delicious. I would try this recipe again, but I would cook the shrimp for a shorter amount of time.
