LifesPersistentQuestions: June 2011

So since i've been cooking and all that i wanted to tell yall about tonights dinner before i eat it :)
In african cuisine they use a lot of pâte d'arachide (peanut paste) as it is a main export into the western world and so i decided why not...sounds delicious.
I cut up about half of half of an onion and crushed 4 cloves of garlic and threw that in a pan with olive oil. I let that sit until it was all nice and golden and then i proceeded to add about 3 big table spoons of peanut butter (a low calorie one preferably) and mixed it around with a spatula forming a sauce. Then i seasoned it with a mexican chili mix and let it simmer on low flame while i washed my shrimp ( in this case i used jumbo cocktail shrimp). I then added the shrimp and let the whole thing marinate while stirring it every so often. after about 6-7 min you're good to go!!!! Enjoy :)
TIPS:
these would be a great appetizer for a summer garden party, putting just enough shrimp on each plate to get the taste buds reved up and wanting more!
