Thai Grilled Shrimp with Black Pepper Sauce
This recipe is a powerhouse of Thai flavors! You’ll love how the smoky, grilled shrimp pairs so well with Phuket-Style Black Pepper Sauce that comes easily together in one pot. While I’ve adapted the grilled shrimp to make it simpler for a weeknight meal, I’ve kept the Phuket-Style Black Pepper Sauce as-is, because that’s where the recipe really shines.
I made this recipe in 30 minutes even without a kitchen! I used our BBQ grill for the shrimp and a little camping stove for the sauce.
