Thai Peanut Sauce

A perfect appetizer dipping sauce for simply roasted skewers of meat or seafood.

1/3 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 cup lite coconut milk (I buy the small cans)
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Combine peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, coconut milk, crushed red pepper, and sesame oil in a small pot over medium low heat, whisking in 1/4 cup of water, a little at a time to bring to a smooth sauce consistency. Simmer for ten minutes to blend flavors.

Pan saute or broil skewers cubes of tofu, chicken, or shrimp that are brushed with peanut oil, until lightly browned; serve with small dish of sauce for dipping.
