By Darlene Schmidt, About.com

These fantastic Thai barbecue recipes are fragrant and bursting with flavor! As a bonus, many of these recipes can be made in your oven or on top of your stove - great for days when the weather doesn't cooperate. You'll love the chicken satay recipe, plus find recipes for grilled fish and salmon, bbq chicken, prawn skewers, grilled steak and ribs, grilled vegetables, even grilled dessert. Enjoy!

21. Classic Thai Grilled (or Fried) Whole Fish

Thai Whole FishCopyright Darlene A. Schmidt
This excellent recipe for barbecue fish can also be fried indoors if the weather doesn't cooperate (instructions included). You can use nearly any type of fish - whole or in steaks/fillets. In Thailand, small whole fish are used for this dish, so I chose to cook a few rainbow trout, which turned out perfect - the taste was just as I remember it from the beaches of Thailand! Simply marinate the fish in fish sauce, then barbecue 3-5 minutes each side. Pour a special Thai sauce overtop, and serve - Mmmmm...!!

22. Barbecue Mango Chicken

This Thai Mango Barbecue Chicken recipe is a delight to make and to eat. And it's easy to whip up. A twist on traditional mango chicken, this barbecue version is equally delicious, and just as spicy-sweet. Simply toss a ripe mango (or use frozen mango) plus some key Thai ingredients into your blender, and you have a delicious mango sauce that works as both the marinade and a dipping sauce. Serve this barbecue chicken with some rice, and you'll make everyone happy at dinner - even the kids!

23. Easy Thai BBQ Sauce (New!)

This homemade Thai BBQ Sauce recipe is so easy to make, and much superior to store-bought varieties (also healthier and less expensive!). It's a dark, tangy-sweet sauce that has enough spice to make your meats, fish or seafood, ribs, or just plain old burgers taste summer delicious.

24. Dessert on the Barbecue: Gourmet Grilled Pineapple "Pops"

While fun to eat, this can also be a very gourmet dessert, especially when dressed up with shredded coconut and paired with a coconutty dipping sauce (recipe included). Also includes make-ahead tips, so you can easily serve this dessert recipe at your next barbecue or dinner party.
