Reviews
“Excellent flavor and consistancy!I had some leftover shrimp from a cookout we had, and so I gave this a try.I modified the recipe a little according to what I had on hand, so your milage with this recipe may vary.”
“Nice recipe!I used light yogurt & light sour cream, cut the oil down to 1T. & added 2 tsp. yellow curry powder.Will definately make again — but with less lime juice.Would probably benefit from a thickening agent (cornstartch or flour) but overall a solid recipe I will add to the “keeeper” pile.”
