“Fast” food never tasted so good! These grilled shrimp are delicious as an appetizer or as a main dish served with rice pilaf and a green or orange vegetable. Be careful not to overcook them!

Ingredients:
1 pound large raw shrimp (16-20 count), shelled and deveined
1/3 cup Thai peanut sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon fresh or bottled minced ginger
Instructions:
