Note

Storage: The peanut sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. If the sauce thickens upon cooling, stir in a little water or additional coconut milk to thin it to your desired consistency before serving.

Skewer Tip: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading the shrimp to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Sauce Consistency: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but fluid enough to dip. Adjust with extra coconut milk or lemon juice as needed. Serve at room temperature for best flavor.

Ingredient Note: While the provided ingredient list does not include shrimp, this recipe assumes you have approximately 1 pound of large, peeled, and deveined shrimp for 4 servings.
