Peanut Ancho Chile Sauce

Cover dried peppers with hot water and soak until soft, 30 to 60 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Remove stems and seeds; chop and set aside. Bring vinegar, beef broth, ginger and lime peel to a boil. Add garlic and chopped chili peppers; cover and simmer for 20 minutes, adding more broth if needed. Puree in blender or food processor with 1/2 cup coconut milk; add more milk if needed. Return pureed mixture to saucepan. Add remaining coconut milk, brown sugar, peanut butter and 1 Tbsp tamari sauce. Bring to a boil and simmer 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture blends and thickens slightly. Stir in lime juice. Keep warm. (Makes 2 cups.)

To Cook Shrimp and Filets

Brush shrimp and filets with tamari and olive oil; let stand for 15 to 20 minutes. Grill or broil filets 3 to 4 inches from heat, 4 or 5 minutes per side, brush with tamari and olive oil while cooking. Serve on warm dinner plate with 2 or 3 Tbsp sauce. Fresh herb garnish, optional.
