Imagine if sweet and sour shrimp and bbq shrimp had a baby… this is that baby! And she’s a beaut. I made this dish for Amazon LIVE and it was way too easy and delicious not to share on here. Enjoy!
If you couldn’t tell by the title of this blog post, the flavor of this dish is complex, yet simple. The souris coming from orange and lime juice in the marinade/glaze. The spice(heat and flavor) is coming from a sprinkle of allspice and the jalapeños used in a pre-made picante sauce that I got at the store. Of course you can make your own sauce with tomatoes, onions, jalapeños and garlic but sometimes shortcuts are fun, do you agree? I think having the option is fun too. So, you do you. Finally, the sweetcomes from some maple syrup used in our delicious marinade/glaze mixture. All together, this sauce is packed with flavor.
Another thing I want to discuss here is the idea of using the marinade as a glaze. I don’t want you to be scared! As long as you bring the marinade to a boil while in the skillet for at least one minute, any and all bacteria will be cooked off and it will reduce into a beautiful sauce. I honestly prefer to make sauces this way because we have no marinade waste (a real sad thing that happens all the time, since you can’t reuse a marinade!!!)
Dinner Party Menu
First on the menu is an outstanding pumpkin risotto with stracciatella, crispy sage, and shiitakes. Paired with it is a maple dijon pork tenderloin (or chicken thighs). For dessert, enjoy an apple cider bread pudding with creme anglaise and caramel.
