i served this with the recipe posted for lidos rice and beans on the side. delicious!

Nice. Looks like Sunday dinner.

CS, I don't usually like sweet in a savory dish. Does the sugar add a lot of sweetness? Do you think it would work with less?

the sugar doesn't overwhelm the dish whatsoever and in fact doesn't really taste sweet. if it did, i wouldn't like it either. you should give this one a try.

OK! I will <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

CS, it looks and sounds delicious! I'll have to pick up some shrimp and give it a try. I think I would put more garlic in it though.

a woman after my own heart. i added a whole lot more garlic actually, but decided to be conservative when posting. if you try this, let me know how you like it.

Wow....that looks DELICIOUS!!!
Like some of the others here, I know what I'm having this weekend!
