Curried Peanut Shrimp with Pasta Recipe

A flavorful shrimp recipe from Stephanie.

Ingredients:

8 ounces fettucine
2/3 cup chicken broth, low fat, salt
1/2 cup peanut butter, creamy, low fat
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 piece ginger root, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups green onions, sliced
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 1/2 pounds large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation:

Cook pasta in boiling salted water, following package directions. While pasta cooks, place chicken broth and next 5 ingredients (broth through ginger root) in a food processor, and process until smooth.

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over med. heat. Add onions, curry, and garlic; saute 3 minutes. Add shrimp; cook 6 minutes or until shrimp are done. Stir in peanut sauce; cook for 1 minute or until thoroughly heated. Serve over pasta, and sprinkle with cilantro.

Makes 4 servings but the servings here are fairly large as the recipe is quite filling.

Stephanie's Notes: Also, may want to put a 1/3 cup of bean sprouts on top of the pasta, before you put the sauce on it. Crushed peanuts would be good, but would defeat the low fat idea of the original recipe.
This is a nice recipe my Mom sent me a few months ago. I have made it 2 times and it is good. What I would do differently next time is serve it with lime wedges and/or chili-garlic sauce (sold in Asian markets) on the side.
