Although I am veggie n' all, I can see how that would work - I mean people put all sorts of theing with lemon or orange, and they're far sweeter than plain chocolate.

Unsweetened chocolate and cocoa is used in Mexican cooking, such as moles.
First you have to get past the idea that chocolate is always sweet....it isn't.

it's not the sweet I have a problem with, it's actually the chocolate part. Cocoa powder can lend a lovely smoky hint to some foods (like tomato-based sauces and chili) and I've done that before - but very very little cocoa powder to a very big pot.
Chocolate - even bittersweet chocolate - covered shrimp is just too weird for me. Perhaps a sauce with a tiny bit of cocoa powder, but... chopping up chocolate?

It looks like Cuitlacoche.
 "The other night I dreamed that King George VI was dead, and that Helen Hardinge had somehow or other got herself proclaimed Queen of England, and that I was detailed to go and tell her that it wouldn't do at all; and when I did this, all she said was, 'You see, I am really Queen Mary,' and I said, 'Oh very well' - words to that effect, and woke up. Last night I dreamed that Eisenhower came to stay with us, and he insisted on being put to sleep in the dog kennel, with a collar and chain about his neck." - Sir Alan Lascelles, 19 February 1980 |

Well, I personally don't like hiding my seafood's flavor that much, but I'll try anything once. ______________________ Fandangling across the moony sky, went the Beezee bold as brass, side-saddle she sat, on a big painted bat, shooting moonbeams out of her a(censored)e. ~Joe ________________________ Isn't sanity really just a one trick pony, anyway?

meh - I don't like seafood, except for red snapper, which doesn't really need sauce, just some lemon and pepper and salt.

i think my main problem with it is that it looks so sweet, and then you'd take a bite and there'd be shrimp.

It tastes like delicious. If you like seafood, I suppose. Which I do. The garlic and chili are dominant flavours, so it's really not particularly sweet. All of the sweetness that there is comes from the oranges and the shrimp, while the chocolate adds a dark, bitter, smokey, nutty richness which compliments the spice beautifully. And it doesn't really look like poop in person. I would serve it on or with rice, or else with any number of tapas, and maybe a green salad with artichoke. ---------------- Never stare into a car's headlights and freeze, because you'll either be run over or shot. |
