Turn on the grill and treat your guests to these delicious shrimp kabobs in tamarind sauce. Savor the irresistible combination of coconut milk, shrimp and tamarind. This time I decided to serve the shrimp on kabobs, but another great way to serve them is with rice drizzled in the delicious sauce. How do you prefer them? I still can’t decide.
