- Shrimp: Use small or medium-sized shrimp. Adjust the serving amount to your taste. I counted 6 shrimp for each person (2). Add vegetables to taste.
- Peanut bar: This kind of Thai peanut sauce is traditionally made with peanut bars, which are readily available at Asian markets or Asian grocery stores. If you can't find them, you can order something similar at Amazon.
