Serves 4
Ingredients:
Shrimp Marinade
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp. lime juice
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
2 cups coconut milk
1 pound shrimp, peeled, cleaned and deveined
Thai Salad
8 cups shredded romaine lettuce
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup chopped green onions
1 cup chopped cucumbers (We chop ours into the size of a matchstick.)
1 cup chopped peanuts
8 wooden skewers
Peanut Dressing (Recipe Below)
Make Dinner:
Combine soy sauce, lime juice, garlic and coconut milk in a medium mixing bowl. Add shrimp and marinate for 15 minutes.
While shrimp is marinating, arrange 2 cups of shredded lettuce on each of four dinner plates. Top each with 1/4 cup shredded carrots, 1/4 cup green onions, 1/4 cup cucumbers, and 1/4 cup peanuts.
Heat BBQ to medium high heat. (We use an indoor grill such as a Cuisinart Griddler or George Foreman.) Thread shrimp onto wooden skewers. Grill shrimp for 3 minutes per side.
While shrimp are cooking, make Peanut Dressing. When ready to serve, place two shrimp skewers atop each salad and serve with Peanut Dressing.
