Halibut In Spanish Shrimp Sauce Review - cjs - 07-09-2008

Spice-Grilled halibut in Spanish Shrimp Sauce from the Weeknight Grilling Book (C@H) - well, we were certainly under-whelmed. darn, what a waste of the last of my prawns in the freezer....

I had high hopes for it as I plated it, but twas not to be - just a bland really nothing. *sigh*

I'm sorry Jean! Sure looks good though!

Yup, looks good! Don't you hate to loose such a precious ingredient? Oh well...it's not like all the rest of us haven't been there before at one time or another.

I'm glad you review the disappointments, as well as the successes, Jean. I tend to overlook the recipes that don't work, certain I've done something wrong, not even thinking the recipe may not be the best.

I guess it's a good thing we don't have a thread named "Recipes Gone Wrong"

Just a quick note on this one----there is another recipe VERY similar to this one in Issue 55 that I have made a few times and is absolutely delicious!!!! I compared both recipes and, even though they are pretty similar, the small changes make a very dramatic difference in the end result!

We enjoy the Issue 55 recipe----I see why the "Weeknight Grilling" would be a bit of a disappointment. There is a lack of the essential taste ingredients......

Sorry you were disappointed with this Jean---maybe you will try #55 sometime-------

Did you use Halibut? I do not have access to that here and used Kingklip---similar in taste and texture.

Will chat later!!!
