Easy & delicious! I used a half teaspoon of the red pepper flakes and then followed the recipe. The sauce was tangy, spicy, sweet, and great with the shrimp. I served with brown rice pilaf & broccoli and will definitely use the recipe again!

This was very good, needed something fast to cook for my boyfriends lunch. He loved it so I tried it a second time with fish (talapia) and the shrimp, it was fantastic with the fish also. I served it with white rice and a salad... Very Good A+

YUM! This was spicy but just right (with about 3/4 tsp hot pepper flakes for us) and had a tangy sweetness. My husband rarely declares that anything Asian is worthy of 5 stars, but this one he did. That says it all. Made for PAC Fall 2009.
