I'm late posting what I made a few weeks ago. No specific name for it. Just rice, shrimp, green and red peppers, and some Caribbean Jerk sauce from Kroger's...all combined to form a perfectly spicy meal. I was really in the mood to cook that day, so I called Chelsea for suggestions. And this is what she recommended. It was quite bum, I might add. My family enjoyed it too. I didn't realize how vast the variety and flavors of sauces were at the grocery store. (I don't really do much grocery shopping.) So, you can get even more creative with this recipe; mix/blend sauces or opt for something a little less spicier than the Caribbean Jerk flavor.
This didn't take long to make. Disregard the "30 Minute Marinade" on the sauce, because I clearly didn't follow those directions. I just combined everything together; I don't think it took longer than 30 minutes altogether though (including removing the tails from the shrimp, boiling rice, etc.).
I really need to start couponing though, because this one meal cost around $22. And that's what the price came to after scanning my Kroger's card. I mean, I don't grocery shop on a regular basis yet. So, maybe this is the average. I guess that's a good deal, as 3 people feasted on this $22 meal. I think the shrimp caused it to be that high, now that I think of it.
I'm starting to become an expert at frying chicken. I know, y'all have been doing it all your lives and I'm the slow one now catching on....yadda yadda. But better late than never!
Frying with this fryer definitely calls for patience. Only 5 wings will fit on it comfortably. Then, I have to wait for them to be cooked completely...which could be around 15-20 min. For a family of four (including two dudes that stay hungry) that's a lot of time on the entree alone.
Nevertheless, I made chicken wings for dinner tonight, along with a salad and fries. Then, I wanted to experiment on the last few wings I had left. I shook some of the Caribbean Jerk sauce (mentioned above) in the chicken batter bag. It was so good! I should have made them all like that. My dad even said if I keep cooking like that, I'll get a husband! Ayeeeee! lol
