WOW. these were fabulous. I used my favorite satay dipping sauce, and the shrimp were fantastic. The only question i have is how does this make 4 servings :) unless using gigantic colossal shrimp. I ate them all without scaling the recipe down. Nice to use the root of the coriander as well, instead of throwing it out

There were great! I didn't have any prawns anywhere near large enough to use one per skewer (would need more marinade if I did for 16) so used 4 medium prawns per skewer. I used peanut oil and the turmeric gave them a terrific satay look before dipping.
