Thai style Shrimp Pops

MrWigan

I wanted to do a simple appetizer that I could throw together without much effort.

I found some mini steak skewers (for identifying well done steaks) in the cupboard that I forgot I had and decided to experiment with some shrimp and limes that I had in.

I put an 1/8 of a lime onto the skewer, then the shrimp.  I then added some sugar, chilli flakes and squeezed the rest of the lime juice on top of them all.

I then cooked them direct using a mesh to stop them from falling into the Egg.  I did some blue cheese stuffed mini peppers as a side experiment.   They worked great but the cheese went everywhere.

I served the shrimp with some sweet chilli dipping sauce.  The theory being you squeeze the hot lime over the shrimp and dip.   They worked great and went down a storm.

I'm a spice junkie but the wife isn't quite as crazy
