This was incredibly easy and quite good. I did marinate the shrimp for the full hour. Rather than grilling it, I removed the shrimp/pepper/ginger/garlic from the liquid with a slotted spoon, and then I sauteed it in a pan coated with cooking spray. I added the sauce at the last minute and served it all over rice. We enjoyed the softly sweet peanut flavor, but you could easily omit the added sugar if you prefer more of a peanut punch. This would be great to assemble earlier in the day and then flash saute at dinnertime.
