I made the shrimp in the marinade as written but decided I didn't want to use the sauce just for dipping so I added 2 tablespoons of coconut milk to it and served it over rice noodles instead. This was just an outstanding meal thank you for posting it.
Yum! I followed the recipe exactly except for leaving the prawns in the marinade for about an hour and a half (unexpected store run). Excellent! I'm thrilled that I have leftover vinaigrette for steak salad this week. Thanks!!
This sauce tastes very similar to one I've made for a Mongolian hot pot dinner but turned out significantly thinner which led me to use a tsp. of cornstarch and water to quickly thicken it a touch. The flavor is actually so impeccable that making the marinade isn't really necessary so I'll definitely be skipping that step next time around. I highly recommend this recipe!
This was the BEST peanut sauce I have tried and it complimented the shrimp (and I added chicken as well) perfectly. My family was over and it was a huge hit.
I didnt marinate the shrimp. I grilled them with salt and fresh ground pepper. The sauce was enough to make you want to slap someone. We added cornstarch to thicken it up a bit but it was really awesome. Just the right spice balanced by the peanut butter. Great recipe!
pretty good a little too much vinager for us.
It is a pity but this recipe didn t work for me. The marinade was great so spicy and delicious. I will use it for grilled shrimp. But I didn t care for the peanut butter sauce. I didn t have mirin and used white wine with sugar instead (a suggestion from one cooking site) maybe it was a wrong way but this sauce had a "sweet and sour thing" I didn t like.
This is very very good. I followed the recipe almost exactly. The only thing I changed was adding coconut oil instead of peanut oil in the sauce (which is healthier and added a very subtle coconut flavor to the already delicious sauce). The sauce is a little runnier than most peanut sauces I'm used to- it's definitely more of a vinaigrette I added a couple tsps of cornstarch and still found it a little runny- delicious over rice though! There is a pile of sauce left over... if you're just dipping the shrimp you could probably get away with halving it.. A couple of people have mentioned skipping the marinade... do NOT do this! The marinade is absolutely delicious with flavors of lemongrass garlic and ginger... I marinated mine about 45 mins and didn't wipe the chunks off the shrimp before grilling. My bf thought the shrimp was delicious and ate it on its own... I thought it complemented the flavors in the sauce wonderfully. Yum!
Too much work and too many ingredients for an ok dish.
