Wonderful sauce! I made half a recipe and combined it with some shrimp. Actually, I decided to make it all together so I sautéd the shrimp for a minute or so, then added the garlic and proceeded with the sauce as written. This is a thick, sweet, and slightly spicy sauce that would be wonderful in just about any stir fry. Half of this recipe is perfect for saucing 1 6 ounce serving of shrimp. Made for ZWT6

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
