Hello, Barbecue Enthusiasts!

Grilling foods outdoors is one of the greatest simple pleasures in food
preparation.

It's a slow process that offers the cook an opportunity to chat with family
and friends as the meal is prepared, rather than slaving away in a kitchen
removed from all the festivities of good company.

Today's recipe is for grilled seafood with a Chinese flair. Try it at your
next cookout, as National Barbecue Month continues at RecipeaDay!

To prepare the peanut sauce, place ginger root, cilantro (or parsley), and
jalapeno peppers in a food processor or blender, and process until smooth.
Add vinegar, soy sauce, and peanut butter, and puree until smooth and
creamy. Add curry, honey, and sesame oil. Process until mixed well. Remove
sauce from processor and refrigerate until time to serve.

To prepare the shrimp, soak wood skewers in water for one hour, then skewer
shrimp three to each skewer.

Marinate skewered shrimp in sweet chili sauce (and sherry if desired) for
at least one hour.

Prepare your hot grill and grill each skewer of shrimp for about three
minutes on each side.

Meanwhile, following the directions on the package of the Chinese Noodles
you've selected, prepare and cook them while the shrimp are grilling.

Drain and the toss the cooked noodles with the peanut sauce in a large
bowl, then place individual portions on six serving plates.

When shrimp are finished, place one skewer on top of each portion of
noodles and serve.
