  1. A friend gave me Bush's cookbook and the second recipe I tried was Brazilian Corn and Coconut Chowder. I used plaintains, ginger for sushi, and I did add shrimp. Fabulous flavors. My limes were very small and the lime flavor was just right, so taste before you put in the second lime if they are large.
