Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sambal Paste:

   • In a food processor, combine the sweetened flaked coconut, chilies, anchovy paste, garlic, and lime juice.
   • Whirl the ingredients until the coconut and chilies are finely minced, scraping down the sides of the container frequently to ensure even mixing.

2. Prep the Shrimp:

   • Rinse the shrimp and drain them thoroughly.
   • Thread the shrimp onto 4 flat metal skewers, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

3. Coat the Shrimp:

   • Brush the prepared sambal paste generously over the shrimp, ensuring they are evenly coated.
   • Remember to reserve some of the sambal paste for serving later.

4. Grill the Shrimp:

   • Preheat your BBQ grill over a solid bed of medium-hot coals or set a gas grill to medium-hot (where you can hold your hand at grill level for no more than 3 seconds).
   • Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and close the lid.
   • Cook the shrimp, turning them once, until they turn bright pink and are still moist, which should take about 2 minutes per side.

5. Serve:

   • Transfer the grilled shrimp to a serving platter.
   • Serve the Javanese Sambal With Grilled Shrimp hot, accompanied by the reserved sambal paste for dipping or drizzling.
   • Garnish with lime wedges and fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.

Cooking Times:

Tips:

• For a milder sambal paste, remove the seeds from the chilies before processing.
• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading the shrimp to prevent them from burning on the grill.
• Customize the spice level of the sambal paste to suit your taste preferences by adjusting the number of chilies used.
• Serve the Javanese Sambal With Grilled Shrimp with steamed rice and a side of crisp, fresh vegetables for a complete meal.
