Add garlic and chopped chili peppers; cover and simmer for 20 minutes, adding more broth if needed. Puree in blender or food processor with 1/2 cup coconut milk; add more milk if needed. Return pureed mixture to saucepan. Add remaining coconut milk, brown sugar, peanut butter and 1 Tbsp tamari sauce. Bring to a boil and simmer 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture blends and thickens slightly. Stir in lime juice. Keep warm. (Makes 2 cups.)

To Cook Shrimp and Filets

We already know that shrimp is low in fat and calories. But if you are concerned about cholesterol, there is good news. You do not have to give up shrimp! Research shows and dietitians concur that the high percentage of "good fats" in shrimp reduces the impact of cholesterol. So enjoy shrimp as part of a balanced - and delicious - diet.
