A Recipe Fail!


Aren't those colors beautiful? Vibrant? Delicious looking?  I know right!  However, the recipe that this was intended for was a complete failure!!!

As I mentioned before, I am testing recipes for an event using a certain brands' liquor.  Well I attempted to make a shrimp ceviche and it was way too strong, too much alcohol and not in a good way.  I know the error and I intend to attempt this again directly!

I hated to waste these pretty vegetables but there just was no saving those suckas.  In the OG words of Jay to the Z...on to the next one!!

When I first glanced at that picture I thought how yummy it looked and how beautiful the color combo was too. Oh well only cooks that are willing to try new things and test things out by trial and error really become the great chefs anyway! So keep on working it out girl!

I made that shrimp recipe that nite. It was really good! However, can we say guility! I felt extremely guility eating that meal knowing the amount of butter I had used. That would be the only reason why I may not cook it again. However it was delicious and more than likely I will be cooking it again.

I did like the flavor and the recipe was easy to follow. The only thing I did have to do at the end was add more cayenne pepper to kick it up a notch. I love spicy foods!

Ginae - That is the only reason we don't eat it often...the butter content! It is good to whip up a couple of times a quarter. I would venture to say you could use less butter and it would still taste good.

Thank you so much for the feedback!!
