Ingredients

SHRIMP SATAY

THAI PEANUT SAUCE

Instructions

  • Clean the shrimp, remove veins, and keep the tails intact or removed, as preferred. Mix coconut milk, yellow curry powder, and rosdee flavor seasoning in a large bowl, then add shrimp. Allow the shrimp to marinate for 20 minutes. During this time, also submerge your skewers in water to avoid charring during grilling.
  • Mix the roasted peanuts in a food processor or blender until finely ground. Prepare the shallots and garlic in the same way.
  • Heat oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Once the oil is heated, sauté the shallots and garlic until they’re golden and fragrant.
  • Add the massaman curry paste into the pan, stirring for approximately one minute to release its fragrance.
  • Pour in the coconut milk, followed by palm sugar, tamarind paste, rosdee seasoning powder, and salt. Stir the mixture continuously, allowing it to simmer for around 2 minutes, or until the palm sugar has completely dissolved into the sauce.
  • Stir the ground peanuts into the sauce and then remove the pan from the heat. Your peanut sauce is now complete.
  • Thread the marinated shrimp onto the pre-soaked skewers.
  • Cook the shrimp skewers on a grilling pan or over a charcoal flame, turning them occasionally, until they are thoroughly cooked with a slight char on the outside. Serve immediately with your peanut sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
  • RosDee seasoning powder - This is a popular seasoning in Thai cuisine. It's a blend of Thai spices that adds a savory flavor and enhances the overall taste of food.
  • Massaman curry paste - The spices in massaman paste are perfect for making peanut sauce. You can use my massaman curry paste recipe or opt for store-bought brands like Mae Ploy or Maesri.
