  1. Okay, the sauce was very delicious thank you for that amazing recipe. I plan on using it on rice and meat for future recipes. THis way the sauce gets magnified by being absorbed by the rice and meat. We found that the fruit just diluted the sauce's zip. The fish ended up without much flavor after it was mixed in with the fruit. The pineapple overwhelmed. It tasted like a fruit salad with shrimp on top. It looked so beautiful though, we took pictures! A fun refreshing salad, just won't repeat.
