Steps:
- Preheat the grill to high.
- In a large, nonreactive bowl, combine the lemongrass, ginger, garlic, scallion greens, soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey and whisk well. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Skewer the shrimp, scallion whites, and red bell peppers onto skewers in whatever order you like. There should be 4 to 6 shrimp per skewer.
- Place the skewers on a flat plate and drizzle with peanut oil. It is not necessary to salt the skewers because soy sauce has so much salt in it. Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook about 3 minutes per side, or just until the shrimp curls, turns red and does not appear clear at all. Be careful not to overcook.
- Place the whole radicchio leaves around the edge of a platter. Mound the chiffonade radicchio and watercress inside the leaves and around the platter. Remove the skewers from the grill and place on the bed of greens. Squeeze the juice of a lime over the shrimp.
GRILLED SHRIMP WITH FIERY LEMONGRASS-CHILE SAMBAL
Steve Raichlen visited 53 countries (6 or 7 continents - if you include the occasional barbcue obsessed scientist stationed in Antartica) on a quest to get to the heart of the most universal cooking method grilling over an open flame. Most countries have evolved their unique grills, rubs, marinades, grilling techniques, and styles of barbecue & that way, the country grills say a lot about its culture. True, a lot of great grilling takes place on Third World street corners, but you can also find some pretty amazing barbecue at luxury resorts. This comes from the hotel Amandari in Indonesia, which is built right into a rice paddy near the artist town of Ubud in Bali Dinner began with a Balinese welcome dance performed by local children They dined at a table for two strewn with rose petals in an open pavilion facing a lily pond. There was a team of chefs that cooked for them alone, on portable grills over charcoal (the best way for excellent flavor!) The succesion of dishes revealed Balinese cooking in all its polymorphic glory. A profoundly complex cuisine only hinted at in the food at your typical street-corner stall, Bon Appetit Magazine, July 2009 edition. The shrimp is grilled with an aromatic paste of lemongrass, ginger, turmeric, chile peppers & paprika. There is a 15-30 minute marinating time not included.:)
