Instructions: Richard G. Sackleh, executive chef, sent the recipe. It includes a spicy sweet Thai sauce.

Prepare Thai sauce and set aside. Place butter and garlic in clean, heated saute pan. Cook 1 minute. Add shrimp, cook 3 minutes, turning occasionally to cook evenly. Add additional butter if pan becomes too dry.

Add cut vegetables, half of the cilantro and half of the peanuts. Add 1/2 cup Thai sauce (or more to taste) and mix.

Add shrimp/vegetable mixture to pasta, tossing well to coat. Remove shrimp from mixture.

Divide pasta with vegetables and sauce between 2 serving bowls. Place reserved shrimp, tails up, around rims of bowls, facing toward middle.

Garnish center of each bowl with the onions, remaining peanuts and cilantro.

Makes 2 servings.
