Peanut Buttery Goodness!!!
This recipe was super easy and oh so delicious! I added a little red pepper flakes to give it an extra kick. Very good recipe. It has been inducted to the dinner rotation ;0)

I though this was so nasty. I would never make this again, there was just something about the peanut butter mixed with everything else that sat with me wrong. I guess you have to be a peanut butter lover to like this

Instead of smooth peanut butter and then adding additional peanuts, I used chunky peanut butter for the sauce. We also doubled the red pepper sauce. My husband had THIRDS!

Very very peanut buttery
This was ok, but the peanut butter flavor was a bit overwhelming, it tasted more like a snack food than an authentic Thai dish. Probably more spice, maybe some Thai Chilies, would help, as would reducing the amount of peanut butter.

really good
I am not a fan of seafood, so I substituted the scallops for tofu. I loved this recipe and I look forward to having some leftovers for work tomorrow. I will definitely use this recipe again sometime soon!

It's Ok
Not too bad. I enjoyed it but used shrimp instead of scallops. I think that 1/2 cup of peanut butter is a bit much. It's too over powering for the dish. Overall I like like it.

We made this recipe several times over the past month. It's quite good. I double the red pepper sauce to give it a little more kick.
