better than take out spicy & sweet thai chili shrimp

so i was cruising Gina's Skinny Taste food blog and i ran across this recipe.. which sounded really good  so i did a google search and found this recipe.. both sounded wonderful but not exactly what i was looking for .. so i took what i liked out of each and came up with this one which i have to say is scrumptious.. we have a question in our house "would you pay $15.00 for that dinner".. and pete said YES he would pay that for this dinner.. (not sure its worth $15.00 but it was pretty darn good..)  i served the shrimp over rice noodles.. umm yumm..
