How to Make Thai Prawn Satay

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok over medium heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1/2 cup chopped onion; sauté for 3 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Add 2-3 red chilies (finely chopped), 2-3 kaffir lime leaves, 1 stalk lemongrass (finely chopped), and 1 tablespoon Thai red curry powder. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. Stir in 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk, 1 cinnamon stick, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 2 tablespoons tamarind juice, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon lime juice.
  4. Reduce heat to low, simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. While the sauce simmers, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a separate pan. Add 1 pound prawns and cook until pink and firm (about 3-5 minutes per side).
  6. Gently combine the cooked prawns with the peanut sauce. Garnish with 2 tablespoons sliced spring onions, 1-2 finely sliced red chilies, and 2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves.
  7. Serve immediately with lemon rice (recipe not included).
  8. Enjoy this wonderfully flavorful Thai culinary delight!
