I thought this was very good, and very quick as well. However, I have to agree with the other reviewer that I didn't like the sauce very much, and I also usually love peanut sauce. This one was too sweet I thought.02/12/07

This is a fantastic recipe and easy to make. I only put about half the recommended amount of cilantro in the sauce and it was just right. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp on the grill. I think we only needed 5 minutes total. A Taste of Thai makes a Ginger Coconut Rice that compliments this recipe nicely. I'll definitely make this again.02/07/04
