Sweet & Spicy Shrimp (Chambord Shrimp)

Submitted by ncmysteryshopper

"We really enjoyed this recipe. The Chambord really lends itself well to this dish and creates a nice fruity sweet that contrasts well with the heat of the jalapeno. The original recipe called for 5-6 ounces of olive oil, but we felt that 2 ounce was plenty. The sauce is really good so make sure you have some crusty bread to soak it up with. I served it on a bed of Hawaiian Rice (Recipe #179346) by Chabear01, but it would be equally good on plain white rice."

I had this for dinner last night and it was delicious! I never considered chambord to cook with but it is a great flavor with the garlic. I had it with some garlic rice and it was a great match!

This is superb. The reviewers are right, have plenty of crusty bread on hand to sop up the sauce. We will be doing this one again!

This shrimp dish was a little wierd and too sweet in my opinion. My husband thought it was great as he tends to enjoy unusual flavors. If you like odd combinations...this is for you.
