Steps:
- Mix the onion, garlic, oil, and fish sauce in a bowl large enough to hold the shrimp.
- Add the shrimp, toss to coat evenly, and marinate, covered, at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Soak the wooden skewers in water for 20-30 minutes.
- Prepare grill or preheat broiler.
- To prepare the dip, mix together the lime juice, pepper, salt, fish sauce, and sugar, in a small bowl, mixing well; adjust seasonings to taste (add a little water or sugar if dip seems too tart).
- Thread shrimp onto wooden skewers; lightly coat each finished skewer with oil or cooking spray, and place on grill over medium coals or heat (or place on pan under broiler), and cook approximately 5 minutes, turning once, or until shrimps are pink, firm, and slightly charred in spots.
- Serve shrimp with the dipping sauce.
- A good accompaniment would be steamed rice, or an Asian noodle dish.
GRILLED LEMONGRASS SHRIMP - VIETNAMESE TOM NUONG XA
Lemongrass is used as skewers in this recipe, but it's optional and you can certainly use bamboo sticks instead. The recipe is ideal for outdoor grill, indoor grill, or under the broiler and makes 1 skewer with 3 shrimp per person as appetizer for 4 servings. If you want to make this as main dish, make 2-3 skewers per person.

Steps:
- If using bamboo skewers in place of lemongrass, soak them in water for 30 minutes so they won't burn.
- Combine all marinade sauce ingredients and marinate the shrimp for 15 minutes.
- If using lemongrass, cut lemongrass into 10" (25 cm) lengths. Skewer 3 shrimp with lemongrass or bamboo skewer.
- Grill or broil shrimp until nicely charred.
GRILLED LEMONGRASS PORK TENDERLOIN SKEWERS: SUON NUONG XA
Steps:
- Stir together the fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and oil until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the lemongrass, shallot, garlic and pork and mix to coat the meat evenly. Allow to marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes or refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Slide 2 to 4 slices of pork onto each skewer so the meat is flat with the skewer going through the slices several times. Grill over a barbecue (make sure that the flames have subsided and the coals are red with white ashes). Alternatively, heat a well-oiled grill pan or non-stick skillet over high heat and, working in batches, cook the skewers until the edges crisp, about 1 minute per side. Remove the skewers from the grilled pork.
- Divide the grilled pork among the bowls of rice vermicelli. Sprinkle peanuts and drizzle nuoc cham over each serving. Serve immediately.
- Whisk together the sugar, water, fish sauce, and lime juice in a bowl until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the garlic, chile, and shallot, and let stand for 30 minutes before serving.
VIETNAMESE RICE NOODLES WITH LEMONGRASS SHRIMP
Nearly every little shop in Vietnam serves some version of this satisfying, simple dish. Bowls of room-temperature rice noodles are festooned with wok-fried or grilled shrimp (or beef, pork or chicken), scented with lemongrass, splashed with a sweet-and-spicy dipping sauce, and then served with pickled vegetables and tender, aromatic herbs.

Steps:
- Make the pickled vegetables: Put carrot and daikon in a small bowl and sprinkle with sugar and salt. Add rice vinegar, toss well and set aside.
- Make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar, vinegar, lime juice, fish sauce, garlic, ginger and chiles. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water and let mixture sit for 15 minutes. (Leftover sauce will keep up to 3 days, refrigerated.)
- Marinate the shrimp: Put shrimp in a shallow dish. Add fish sauce, brown sugar, garlic and lemongrass. Mix well to coat.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to boil. Turn off heat and add rice noodles. Soak noodles, stirring occasionally, until softened, usually about 7 to 8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Leave in colander at room temperature.
- Prepare a platter of lettuce leaves and herb sprigs for the table. Keep cool, covered with a damp towel.
- Put oil in a wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add shrimp without crowding (work in batches if necessary). Cook for about 2 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
- To serve, divide noodles among 4 large soup bowls, then top each with hot shrimp, pickled vegetables and a tablespoon or so of dipping sauce. Sprinkle with scallions and peanuts (and beans sprouts if using). Pass herb platter and remaining dipping sauce at the table, and encourage guests to customize bowls as desired.
