Sate Udang (Prawn on Skewer)

As it is the last day of the month, I guess I should post my entry for the Masbar event. This month theme is "Aneka Sate Nusantara". There are whole range of satay in Indonesia using various meat/main ingredients and different spices. My pick goes to prawn on skewer.

Ingredients:
- Prawns
- 1 lemon
- 5cloves of small red onion/shallot
- 8cloves of garlic
- 2stalk of lemon grass, cut into 1cm in length for easy grinding
- 4cm of galangal
- 4cm of ginger
- 4 lime leaves
- 4 Indonesian bay leaves
- 5 candle nuts
- 1tsp of shrimp paste (Indonesian-terasi)
- 1/2 block of palm sugar
- 1Tbsp of granulated brown sugar
- 100ml water
- salt

Directions:
Drizzle some lemon juice all over the prawn. Let it immersed for 10minutes. Then grind all of the remaining ingredients in a blender until smooth. Marinate the prawn with the smooth seasoning for 20minutes. Arrange them on skewer, 4 prawns for each. Grilled it on bbq grilling until done for both sides. Serve it with warm steamed rice and fresh vegetable salad.
