This was delicious, I will definitely make it again. I added some red pepper flakes, because we like it spicy, and substituted asparagus and carrots for the red pepper and snap peas (as that was what I had on hand). I also sprinkled on some cashews before serving, which worked very well. Thanks for sharing!

Me and my family love this recipe! We've made it with chicken and beef too, but shrimp is the best! It's VERY sweet though, so you must have a sweet tooth to enjoy it. Don't skimp on the shrimp or it will be even sweeter. The sauce is very thick and I have never had to alter this recipe :-)

Great recipe. Substituted leftover pork for the shrimp and kicked it ups a notch with sambal olek! Served with white rice. YUMMY! Made for ZWT #6
