Cooking Tips

• Make sure to finely mince the garlic, shallots, lemongrass, and cilantro to ensure even distribution of flavors.
• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning on the grill.
• You can customize the seafood mixture by adding other ingredients such as minced ginger, chopped scallions, or chili flakes for extra flavor.
• For a spicier satay, add some minced chili peppers or chili sauce to the seafood mixture.
• Serve the satay with a side of steamed rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover satay can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Reheat the satay in a preheated oven or grill for a few minutes until warmed through.
• Serve the satay as an appetizer at parties or as a main course with a side of rice and vegetables.
• Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for added freshness.
