This dish is a fun take on Shrimp Scampi. The addition of a Dark Chocolate Drizzle makes this dish feel a bit more decadent and special.

Today is the final day of Chocolate Week and since it is also a Friday I wanted to find a fish/seafood recipe that used chocolate.
I found this Italian Recipe on Food Network. I also found a recipe from Italy, however it is in Italian and since I can't read Italian I went with this one. It turned out lovely and I was happy knowing that it was an actual, traditional recipe.
I wasn't sure what to serve with a Chocolate Shrimp. Should I put it over pasta? If I do should I thin out some of the chocolate and make a sauce? Should I make some homemade chocolate pasta? That seems like a lot of work and I still don't know what sauce I would use.
In the end, I roasted up some vegetables and opened up a package of Quinoa/Brown Rice mixture. It was perfect. My husband and Teen chose to have their shrimp scampi sans chocolate. Their loss....
It was so good.
Another savory use for chocolate that I've never thought of!
ReplyDeleteI had so much fun researching different recipes Jolene.
DeleteI might be convinced to try shrimp if it's doused in chocolate! Leave it to the Italians! YAY, I know my hubby would love this recipe!
