Thai Grilled Shrimp
This authentic Thai grilled shrimp recipe is made with fresh shrimp and a pinch of sea salt grilled right in a hot grill pan. It is a smoky street-food favorite made in just 15 minutes and tastes just like the street markets in Thailand.
Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon oil to grease the grill pan
- 400 g shrimp or river prawn (about 8 prawns), trim off the antennae
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes or coarse salt (preferred) or regular salt
- lime wedges for garnishing
- Thai Seafood Sauce for serving
Instructions
- Use a pair of kitchen scissors to trim off the antennae of the shrimp.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the pan by wiping it with a paper towel dipped in oil.
