OK. By now, I'm sure you are wondering about Captain Crunch as a breading for shrimp?! It could be pretty good or it could be completely disgusting. Let me tell you, we were amazed at how yummy it turned out. Here's how we did it. We wanted to try something a bit unconventional but one of us (Kathy) ;-) doesn't like coconut. What could we do to get the crunchy and salty sweet taste combination? After coating the shrimp with an egg and milk mixture, we breaded them with chopped up roasted peanuts and crunched up Captain Crunch. Then we wok fried them. We then made up a pineapple salsa from scratch, using fresh pineapple, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro paste and red chili paste.
Once the white rice was steamed, dinner was served. Pineapple salsa over steamed rice, with the breaded shrimp on top. I have to admit that this was truly gourmet restaurant quality! The taste combination was incredible.
The pineapple salsa is so good and easy to throw together, it has already become a favorite at our get togethers.
We'll keep posting as long as we keep creating. Check back soon and often to see what's for dinner next time.
