This is a really nice looking appetizer recipe and it's jam-packed with flavour. The shrimp skewers on their own are tasty but when dipped in the Coconut Sauce are over the top! Ingredients:

1 fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped |
1 red chili pepper, seeds removed, sliced and chopped fine |

4. Add shrimp, turning to coat with marinade, then refrigerate, covered for 30 minutes.
5. Remove skewers from water and thread shrimp onto each skewer from the head to the tail of the shrimp so that they are fairly straight on the skewers.
