Category: Seafood and Fish - Grilled
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1 teaspoon lime zest
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon Asian chili paste (such as sambal oelek)
1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
1 tablespoon canola oil (for oiling the grates)
36 large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails left intact)

Soak 12 wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent charring.

Meanwhile, make the sauce: Bring sugar and lime juice to a simmer in a small saucepan. Cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in lime zest, chili paste, and fish sauce. Season with salt.

Make the shrimp: Heat grill to high. Brush grates with oil. Thread 3 shrimp onto each skewer; season with salt. Divide sauce in half; reserve half for serving. Grill shrimp for 1 minute; brush with sauce. Flip, and grill for 1 minute more; brush with sauce again. Flip, and grill, brushing occasionally with sauce, until opaque, 1 to 3 minutes more. Serve with reserved sauce.
