Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

20 -30 fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup peanut butter, preferably chunky
3/4 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons soy sauce, more to taste
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 inch ginger, piece peeled
1/2 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
1 lime, Juice of, plus lime wedges for garnish
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 lb boneless pork shoulder or 1 lb pork loin

Steps:

In a blender, combine all ingredients except pork and process until you have a smooth paste. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed: mixture should be salty, spicy and hot. Set about 1/2 cup of marinade aside to use as dipping sauce.
Slice pork into 1-inch cubes and toss with rest of marinade until it is all well coated. Thread meat onto skewers, without crowding.
Heat a grill, grill pan or broiler until quite hot; cook pork until brown all over, turning once, about 5 to 8 minutes total.
Serve with reserved dipping sauce and garnish with lime wedges.
