Grilled Shrimp Satay
There are myriad versions of Southeast Asian satay, or grilled skewers of seasoned meats or seafood. This is our simplified version of Singapore-style shrimp satay. A fragrant blend of cashews and coconut milk gives the shrimp richness and cloaks them with bold flavor. A pungent shallot-vinegar dipping sauce is a perfect accent.

Tip
Don't use shrimp smaller than the size specified. They will overcook before they have a chance to take on any the flavorful char that is a hallmark of satay. And don't use light coconut milk. The fat from regular coconut milk is needed for flavor.
