  1. A very sweet dish. I think next time I will drain the shrimp and grapefruit of most of the sauce before putting it on the rice, because the syrup became a little too cloying. Other than that, the recipe is delicious, thanks!
     
  2. We halved the brown sugar (1/4 cup) and served it with broccoli (any bitter green would be nice). A nice meal!
     
  3. I should have known better. Just by reading the recipe I should have figured out this would be very sweet. It was far too sweet for my taste. The shrimp was overpowered by the sweetness. In order to be "sticky" the sugar is needed. It is a good recipe but just not for my taste.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!! I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch. We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
