I scaled the recipe down for two and it made alot, but that's okay because my son and I finished it off quickly. We don't have piquillo peppers around here that I know of, so I used anaheim. I had peanut szechuan sauce but only used a little cause it's so hot, and subbed in some teriyaki sauce(I actually used alot more than called for) and it was delicious. Thanks! Made for PRMR game.
