In a mixing bowl, combine minced lemongrass, garlic, chopped chilies, fish sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Mix well to create the marinade.

Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

While the shrimp marinates, prepare the coconut-lime glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut milk and lime juice. Simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Set aside.

Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, leaving a small space between each shrimp.
