It is a pity, but this recipe didn`t work for me. The marinade was great, so spicy and delicious. I will use it for grilled shrimp. But I didn`t care for the peanut butter sauce. I didn`t have mirin and used white wine with sugar instead (a suggestion from one cooking site), maybe it was a wrong way, but this sauce had a "sweet and sour thing" I didn`t like.

This is very, very good. I followed the recipe almost exactly. The only thing I changed was adding coconut oil instead of peanut oil in the sauce (which is healthier and added a very subtle coconut flavor to the already delicious sauce). The sauce is a little runnier than most peanut sauces I'm used to- it's definitely more of a vinaigrette, I added a couple tsps of cornstarch and still found it a little runny- delicious over rice though! There is a pile of sauce left over... if you're just dipping the shrimp, you could probably get away with halving it.. A couple of people have mentioned skipping the marinade... do NOT do this! The marinade is absolutely delicious with flavors of lemongrass, garlic and ginger... I marinated mine about 45 mins, and didn't wipe the chunks off the shrimp before grilling. My bf thought the shrimp was delicious and ate it on its own... I thought it complemented the flavors in the sauce wonderfully. Yum!

Man-o-Man was this ever good! I did this a little differently but left the essence of the authors flavors (Lime, Garlic, Ginger and Mint) intact. I decided to stir fry the shrimp in a little oil, garlic, ginger and fresh mint. When they turned pink I took them out then stir fried some veggies. (Mushrooms, Summer Squash, Asparagus, Boy Choy and Onions)I Returned the shrimp to the wok and when everything was hot I served this over rice noodles ladeling the sauce over it (I did the sauce exactly per the author except I added a few tablespoons of coconut milk) then sprinkled it with the chopped peanuts. I used 4 Thai chili's and found the heat to be just right. Finally I squeezed fresh lime juice over this and it was absolutely incredible!

Yum! I followed the recipe exactly, except for leaving the prawns in the marinade for about an hour and a half (unexpected store run). Excellent! I'm thrilled that I have leftover vinaigrette for steak salad this week. Thanks!!

I didnt marinate the shrimp. I grilled them with salt and fresh ground pepper. The sauce was enough to make you want to slap someone. We added cornstarch to thicken it up a bit, but it was really awesome. Just the right spice, balanced by the peanut butter. Great recipe!

This sauce tastes very similar to one I've made for a Mongolian hot pot dinner, but turned out significantly thinner, which led me to use a tsp. of cornstarch and water to quickly thicken it a touch. The flavor is actually so impeccable that making the marinade isn't really necessary, so I'll definitely be skipping that step next time around. I highly recommend this recipe!

This was the BEST peanut sauce I have tried and it complimented the shrimp (and I added chicken as well) perfectly. My family was over and it was a huge hit.
