Ingredients for 5 Minute Thai Shrimp Satay

  • 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • Low Fat Peanut Butter
  • Low Fat Catalina Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce
  • Chili Powder

How to Make 5 Minute Thai Shrimp Satay

  1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  2. Thread shrimp onto skewers.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, salad dressing, water, and soy sauce until completely smooth and creamy. Add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  4. Brush half of the peanut sauce generously over the shrimp skewers.
  5. Grill or broil the shrimp skewers for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the shrimp is pink and opaque and cooked through. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  6. Serve immediately, with the remaining peanut sauce for dipping. Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
