Shrimp in Thai Peanut Butter Sauce
This sauce is very easy to make at home, and it's very quick to put together once you decide you're in the mood for a Thai dish. We used fresh shrimp for this recipe, but you can use shrimp that is already cooked. Just be sure to thaw the shrimp before adding them to the recipe, but the results are equally delicious with raw or cooked shrimp.
