OK – I think the title really means something like “shrimp of the rooster” but the luscious sauce has the same ingredients as pico de gallo, with a bunch of other stuff too. He asked me what kind of shrimp I wanted, and I said something piquant, please. So he made a very limey sauce, with cumin and chili powder, some fresh chopped jalapeno, lots of fresh lime juice, and garlic and butter. He ladled the sauce over the absolutely perfect fried shrimp – flash fried, with just a whisper of flour to give crunch but not to make a batter, and then just before serving, he topped it with some chopped tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.
Enough words. Here you go:
look at that sauce....that tangy, spicy, piquant sauce...
...drool....
Yeah, that’s right. It was amazing.
