Why recepie famous for?
which is breaded but rather shrimp in a coconut sauce. The sauce has ingredients such as coconut milk, heavy cream, amaretto liquor, sugar, coconut, and vanilla extracts. I know using extracts in a dish like this might seem a little strange but I thought the flavor was pretty good. With that being said, this dish is probably not for everyone. If you don’t like sweet dishes, you probably will not enjoy this. You could, of course, cut back on the sugar or add none at all. The original recipe did not call for salt and pepper but I felt it needed seasonings. Let me know what you think. Enjoy.
