I seem to gravitate a lot to Thai food as you will find many recipes on my blog that are Thai. I just love the flavor combinations. This recipe was adapted from a fellow blogger, Kevin over at Closet Cooking
If you love shrimp, you will certainly love this. Serve it with some Jasmine rice and you will have the perfect meal. To see how I made my Thai Lemon Shrimp, keep reading!

Ingredients
- 2 lbs. shrimp, peeled and deveined
- ⅔ cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 lemons, juice and zest
- zest of 1 lime
- 2 tsp chili sauce
- 1-2 tbsp. fish sauce
- 6 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 tsp. brown sugar
- ½ cup coconut milk
- ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- In a large glass measuring cup add the sweet chili sauce, lemon juice, lemon zest, lime zest, chili sauce, fish sauce and sugar. Mix well. Add shrimp to a ziploc bag and pour in marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes or so.
- Heat up a large saute pan over medium heat and add the shrimp along with the marinade. Add the coconut milk and simmer until the shrimp are cooked and turn pink, about 3 minutes. Be careful not to overcook or they will be tough.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Enjoy!
this shrimp looks great, and I love the flavor combination that you used to spice it up! Yummy 🙂
