Instructions

  • Mince 1 clove of the garlic
  • In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup of the yogurt with the minced garlic, lime zest and pepper
  • Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly
  • Cover with plastic wrap and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for exactly 1 hour

Prepare the dipping sauce:

  • Mince the remaining garlic clove
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar and Sriracha until the sugar is completely dissolved
  • Add the remaining 1 cup yogurt and stir until smooth
  • Top with chopped cilantro
  • Remove the shrimp from the marinade and allow the excess to drip off
  • Remove the skewers from the water and thread 4 shrimp onto each skewer
  • Grill until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, turning them over once, 1 to 2 minutes
  • Serve warm, with the dipping sauce alongside
