How to Make Prawn Shrimp Satay

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, combine 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon ground turmeric, 1 tablespoon finely chopped coriander root, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.
  2. Add 1 pound of prawns/shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are completely coated.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (longer is better for deeper flavor!).
  4. Prepare the skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  5. Thread prawns onto the soaked skewers, using one prawn per skewer.
  6. Grill or barbecue over high heat for approximately 2 minutes per side, or until the prawns are pink and cooked through. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite satay sauce (recipe suggestions can be easily found online!).
