Instructions
 

  • In a blender or food processor, combine the garlic, red chili peppers, turmeric powder, shrimp paste, vegetable oil, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until you have a smooth paste.

  • Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for the best flavor.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  • Once the grill is hot, place the marinated chicken pieces on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and nicely charred.
  • While grilling, you can baste the chicken with any remaining marinade to add more flavor.
  • Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
