  • 1/3  cup  orange marmalade
  • 1/4  cup  orange juice
  • 2  tablespoons  reduced-fat creamy peanut butter
  • 1  tablespoon  Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2  teaspoons  curry powder
  • 1  teaspoon  vegetable oil

Combine the first 9 ingredients in a blender, and process until smooth. Reserve 1/4 cup marinade. Place remaining marinade mixture in a large zip-top plastic bag, and add shrimp. Seal and shake to coat. Marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes.

Prepare grill or broiler.

Remove shrimp from bag, reserving marinade. Thread shrimp onto each of 4 (12-inch) skewers. Place kebabs on a grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray; cook 3 minutes on each side or until shrimp are done, basting frequently with remaining marinade. Spoon reserved 1/4 cup marinade over shrimp.

Made as published, and my husband and I thought it was okay. The orange marmalade flavor was a bit overpowering, and the dish was not as spicy as we like. When we added additional chili garlic sauce to our individual servings, it was much tastier. Next time, I will cut the marmalade in half, and bump up the chili garlic sauce.06/08/09
