Great tasting recipe. I added in all sorts of vegetables, but used the marinade and sauce recipe. I didn't have chicken broth, so I just used water, and it still had great flavor. Thanks for posting!

This was a big hit at dinner tonight. Hubby couldn't get enough of this. I used just 1lb of shrimp and the full sauce recipe and was pleased with the proportions when served over brown rice. Two T of sugar substitute seemed about right for our tastes. Very good recipe, KITTENCAL.
