    Shrimp Sate with Spicy Dipping Sauce


    Source of Recipe


    David Rosengarten’s “It’s All American Food”

    Recipe Introduction


    These were very good! I paired them with his Peanut Sauce (see my Sauces recipe section) instead of the Spicy Dipping Sauce. I brushed them with the peanut sauce just before I removed them from the grill and served them with more of the sauce on the side.

    List of Ingredients




    SHRIMP:
    2 T. water
    1 t. salt
    1 T. sugar
    1 T. lime juice
    1 small hot green chili, minced
    ½ red bell pepper, deveined, seeded and finely minced
    1 t. fish sauce
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 T. minced fresh cilantro leaves
    1 lb. medium shrimp (about 30), shelled and deveined but tails left on

    SPICY DIPPING SAUCE:
    4 t. peanut oil
    4 t. minced garlic
    4 t. minced gingerroot
    2 – 6 small hot green chilies, minced
    4 T. thinly sliced scallion
    4 t. granulated sugar
    Juice of 4 limes
    ¼ t. grated lime zest

    Recipe



    SHRIMP:
    Make the marinade: In a bowl blend everything but the shrimp.

    Thread the shrimp on 10” presoaked bamboo skewers, arranging 5 shrimp on each. Place the skewers in a wide pan.

    Pour the marinade over the shrimp; refrigerate for 1 hour, turning frequently if the shrimp are not completely covered by the marinade.

    Preheat the grill or broiler. Place skewers on the grill or under the broiler – in either case, about 4” from the heat. Cook until the shrimp are lightly browned on one side; turn and grill the other side. Cook until the shrimp are just cooked through (a total of 5 – 6 minutes). Serve satays immediately with dipping sauce.

    SPICY DIPPING SAUCE:
    Place the peanut oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, and minced chilies and cook for about 1 minute. Take care not to color the garlic. Remove from heat.

    Add scallion, sugar, lime juice, lime zest, and salt to taste. Mix well. Serve, slightly chilled; stir well prior to serving.

    Makes 6 appetizer servings.
