Shrimp on Lemongrass Skewers

Lemongrass stalks are used as skewers throughout Southeast Asia, where lemongrass grows like ... well, grass. (It will grow that way for you, too, if you stick a couple of stalks in the ground, especially if you live in a warm climate and keep it well watered.) Simply trim the stalks, skewer the shrimp on them, and grill; you can gnaw on the stalks when you’ve finished the shrimp.

Serve these with Nam Prik or Soy Dipp
