Cuban Mojo • 06.02.10
Okay, it’s not real Cuban mojo sauce. Real mojo sauce looks crazy dangerous. I didn’t feel like setting my kitchen on fire (we’re renting), so, I went with this “new take on mojo.”
Behold… Shrimp Escabeche with Blood Orange Mojo
It’s a lovely, light, summer dish. I had it with a Corona.
I was pretty much drooling when I boiled the orange/lemon juice with garlic. I wouldn’t have thought to put those two together, but it smelled fantastic. There was a lot of chopping involved, but, that relaxes me now, after a long work day. Fun to make. Fun to eat. Two thumbs up.
I still don’t like bell peppers though, so I picked those out for mine.
My husband actually found this recipe. Then he told me I had to find a recipe for him to make tomorrow. I told him I didn’t like this change of rules, lol. So then he had me pick two number. I picked 12 and 52. He used them as latitude/longitude and came up with a space between Yemen and Somalia. Now he gets to make a Yemenese dish. ha
