The shrimp were good but I felt that the sauce was too sweet. If I were to make again I would leave out the sugar and perhaps use all-natural peanut butter instead. I prepared this with Light Coconut Rice, #152997 and some steamed vegetables. A healthy meal. Thanks, NurseDi.

Very easy recipe to make. I only had cooked shrimp on hand so I tossed them with the spices,let them sit as specified and then just heated through. It was very good, especially with the sauce. I am not a big fan of cumin so I reduced the amount required to 1/8 tsp. Thanks for the recipe
