This shrimp dish with peanut sauce was a staple for me in college. It is a sweet, salty, nutty dish that can be cooked up in less than 15 minutes. Measurements for the sauce can be adjusted to your taste, but with these ingredients, you can't go wrong. I also use pre-washed, pre-cut broccoli florets to cut down on prep time.
