Ingredients

• Shrimp (large, peeled and deveined) - 300 grams
• Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
• Shallots (minced) - 1 small
• Fish sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Brown sugar - 1 tablespoon
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
• Black pepper - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh coriander (for garnish) - a handful

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, shallots, fish sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, black pepper, chili powder, and vegetable oil. Mix well to create a marinade.
2. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Skewer the marinated shrimp on skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning).
5. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are opaque and cooked through, brushing with leftover marinade occasionally.
6. Remove from the grill and garnish with fresh coriander before serving.
