Servings: 4

Ingredients

Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
Lemongrass (2 stalks, finely minced)
Fish sauce (3 tablespoons)
Honey (2 tablespoons)
Lime juice (juice of 1 lime)
Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Shrimp (1 pound, peeled and deveined)
Cilantro (a handful, chopped (for garnish))
Lime wedges (to serve)

Instructions

In a bowl, combine minced garlic, finely minced lemongrass, fish sauce, honey, lime juice, soy sauce, vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. This will serve as your marinade.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl. Toss until the shrimp are well-coated with the marinade. Let the shrimp marinate for at least 15 minutes, or for even more flavor, up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill heats up, thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers.
Place the shrimp skewers on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are cooked through and have a slight char.
Remove the shrimp skewers from the grill. Garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve your Tom Hum Nuong hot, with lime wedges on the side for an added tangy kick.
