Chef’s Insight

To add more depth to the dish, you can marinate the shrimp for longer than 30 minutes or even overnight. The longer marination time allows the flavors to penetrate deeper into the shrimp for a richer taste.

Notes

For an extra touch of flair, serve the shrimp satay with fresh vegetables like cucumber, bell peppers, or cherry tomatoes for dipping.
