Looks absolutely mouthwatering. it’s past midnight here and now I want me some grilled shrimp!
I just did this past weekend. I have guests who don’t take heat too well, so the Sriracha was left out but I added tamarind in the marinate. Delicious.
Great idea on using tamarind! Thanks for sharing.
anyway disagree these pictures are driving you crazy?! i am salivating looking at them now. i can smell the shrimp grill aroma oozing out my computer screen. must find grilled shrimp for lunch, with or without sriracha!!!
uhm…where’s the lemongrass?
The lemongrass is in the ingredients list.
may I know how is Sriracha? If I change into tamarind, how much should I used? Thanks RM.
Sriracha is a spicy Thai chili sauce. You can use any spicy chili sauce that you like. Use more if you want an extra kick. I used only 1 teaspoon of Sriracha because it’s very spicy.
Thank you! It looks amazing; I’m looking forward to making this (I can already taste it in my mind!)

Great, I am sure you will love it.
For Mr Rasa Malaysia, substitute the shrimp with chicken wings on skewers.
:-)
Good idea. :)
mouthwatering….can’t wait to try this :)
Bee, can I substitute fresh lemongrass with lemongrass powder?
Not really, it just won’t taste the same but you can try.
I grow lemongrass – it goes perfectly with shrimp!
Yay, this is a perfect appetizer with beer under the sunny sky :-)
Wow…it look appetising and I can imagine it must taste yummy!
