I think this recipe is supburb. Iused dark rum which here in Australia is our Bundaberg Rum and it goes so well with anything citrus. I actually halved the recipe which worked out fine. Other than that I followed the recipe fully and there is nothing I can think to do that would actually improve this recipe. It is something I will do again and again.

We had my son over for dinner and served this dish he went on forever how the citrus, spices and flavors come together to create a wonderful and delightful dish. Not only to eat but easy to make. By the wat some son is a Professional Cook in an exclusive private country club. My wife and myself also enjoyed it very much. Thank you. Chef Shakie
