Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • ½ cup Thai sweet chili sauce

  • ¼ cup soy sauce

  • 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped

  • ½ tablespoon ground black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®), or more to taste

  • 40 uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 1 link cured Portuguese chourico sausage, cut into 1/2-inch slices

  • 8 skewers

Directions

  1. Mix Thai chile sauce, soy sauce, garlic, black pepper, and chile-garlic sauce together in a bowl. Add shrimp, cover, and let marinate in the refrigerator at least 4 hours to overnight.

  2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Place 5 shrimp and 2 pieces of sausage onto each skewer.

  3. Cook shrimp until they are bright pink on the outside and slightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Cook's Note:

Two skewers per person is standard but, depending on the size of shrimp, you may want to increase the serving sizes. You can substitute a different sausage, but it must be cured or pre-cooked, since the shrimp cooks up quite fast.
