Summer BBQ Recipes from the Thai Kitchen

By , About.com Guide

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!

1. Classic Thai Barbecue Chicken (with Dipping Sauce)

Barbecued Chicken with Dipping Sauce
This barbecue chicken recipe is truly bursting with flavor. Marinated first in a garlicky sweet and sour sauce, the chicken is then easily barbecued to perfection. Add a sweet, sour, and spicy sauce as either a dip or a glaze, and this dish will be the life of your dinner or lunch party! A recipe you will want to keep in your files - for life. And it can also be "barbecued" in your oven!

2. Classic Thai Satay (with Real Peanut Sauce)

There's satay, and then there's homemade Thai satay! If you've never had the real stuff, then you're going to be blown away by the succulent taste of this satay recipe (better than any restaurant)! Strips of chicken or beef are marinated in a special Thai paste, then skewered and grilled on the BBQ, grilled on an indoor grill, or broiled in your oven. Serve with homemade peanut sauce for the ultimate taste sensation (recipe included). A great party food!

3. Thai Grilled Steak with Flavorful Sauce (New!)

Thai Grilled SteakD.Schmidt
This grilled steak recipe has two names in Thailand, either "Weeping Tiger" or "Waterfall Beef". The steak is easily marinated, then barbequed over a hot grill. Although you can enjoy this steak whole, in Thailand it is traditionally sliced up thinly and served with the very flavorful accompanying sauce. If you like beef, you'll love this dish!

4. Lemongrass Grilled Salmon with Fresh Blueberries (New!)

This special Thai fusion recipe for grilled salmon celebrates all the sensual flavors and freshness of summer. The salmon is marinated in a Thai lemongrass sauce and then given a Western twist with a topping of fresh blueberries. It's a gourmet-delicious dish that you'll want to serve company. Here's to summer!

5. Flavorful Thai Grilled Shrimp (New!)

This Thai Grilled Shrimp is extremely flavorful and is sure to please anyone who loves Thai flavors. Scallops can also be added to your skewers, if you wish. This is now my husband's favorite shrimp recipe. Give it a try!

6. Thai BBQ Ribs (New!)

Barbecue RibsD.Schmidt
This special Thai Barbecue Ribs recipe turns out tangy-sticky good! Based on Chinese barbeque ribs, this Thai version is even more flavorful and tender. The marinade/bbq sauce is very easy to stir together, then just grill up the ribs for a special dinner treat everyone in the family will love.

7. Thai Grilled Chicken (New!)

This new grilled chicken recipe is made with a very flavorful (and healthy!) Thai marinade, and can either be grilled or baked in your oven depending on the weather (it's equally good both ways!). Give it a try!

8. Grilled Scallops with Peaches & Red Pepper (New!)

Grilled ScallopsD.Schmidt
Try this Thai recipe for Grilled Scallops with Peaches and Red Pepper! Here local peaches have been substituted for mango, which I find works better with the fresh taste of the scallops. Either bay scallops or sea scallops can be used in this recipe, and both are equally delightful. Perfect for a cookout or barbecue party! ENJOY!

9. Grilled Salmon with Lemongrass-Coconut Sauce (New!)

Lemongrass Grilled SalmonD.Schmidt
This Grilled Salmon with Thai Lemongrass-Coconut Sauce is just perfect for fresh salmon steaks or fillets (you can use previously frozen salmon as well). The sauce is a delightful mingling of sweet, sour, and spicy. All these flavors come together in a "lemony" blend of lemon, lemongrass, coconut milk, honey, and a dash of spice (garlic and chili) for a salmon-perfect combination. ENJOY!

10. Barbecue Chicken with Chili-Lime Sauce

Perfect Barbecue ChickenD.Schmidt
If you like good bbq chicken, try this fantastically delicious Thai Barbecue Chicken! Simple enough to make, and the results are truly satifying. Includes a special marinade that imbues the chicken with taste and gives it that beautiful reddish barbecue color. Serve with a quintessentially Thai sauce that is super-easy to make (no cooking involved!) and gives your bbq chicken that extra hit of flavor. A great recipe to make for everday eating, or for a special cookout or family barbecue. ENJOY!
