Peanut Butter Sauce for Chicken or Shrimp

Super easy and delicious savory sauce!  

You can use the peanut butter sauce when you grill, broil, or even pan fry your poultry or seafood.  It works every time. Use as much or as little sauce as you wish.  It is also good to leave a little on the side for dipping!

Savory Peanut Butter Sauce

1/3 c. creamy peanut butter

1/3 c. soy sauce

1/3 c. sugar

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 T. vegetable oil

1 T. water

1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp, shelled and deveined, or chicken cut into bite size pieces

Mix peanut butter and 2 T. soy sauce in saucepan.  Blend in remaining soy sauce, sugar, garlic, oil and water; heat to dissolve sugar.  Thread shrimp or chicken on a skewer and brush with peanut sauce.  Grill or broil shrimp until cooked through (or even just panfry).

If desired, brush with more sauce before serving, or just place some on the side for dipping.  Oh, and the lightly charred parts - yum!
