In a bowl, combine Nilla Wafer crumbs, 1/2 cup flour and the brown sugar. Chop butter into small pieces and then cut into crumb mixture with a pastry blender. Press crumb mixture firmly onto bottom of prepared pan. Bake 15 min. While crust is cooking, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.

Thai Shrimp with Lime and Peanut Sauce
(Try to imagine it with a nice, green lime wedge)
1 lb shrimp, devained and peeled
2 carrots
1 lime
1/4 c House of Tsang peanut sauce
2 T terriyaki sauce
ginger (about an inch, grated)
rice
chicken stock
toasted almonds
I love how fast and easy this one is! It's the perfect 20ish minute meal. Prepare the rice with chicken stock. In the mean time, comine the shrimp, ginger, peanut sauce, and terriyaki sauce in a hot skillet. Cook until the shrimp is pink and curls up. Julienne the carrots and add in at the last minute along with the juice of half a lime. Serve on top of the rice,top with almonds, and enjoy! I think next time I'll add some sugar snap peas, too!
