Ni pedo
ok this is not really hot chocolate but it is pretty darn good if i do say so myself..lol

12 medium-large shrimp - tails on - butterflied
1/4 cup seasoned flour - i used cajun spice
1 tablespoon dry sherry( i used 2 tablespoons juice this time)
1 large navel orange - juiced
1/2oz + dark chocolate (i used semi sweet)
olive oil for frying
2 gloves garlic, minced
1" fresh ginger minced(about a tablespoon)
1 small red chile - minced and seeded(i used half jalapeno)

dredge the shrimp in the seasoned flour, set aside

in a sauce pan, add the juice and sherry,bring to a boil. once boiling starts, remove from heat and stir in chocolate. mix well. i had to reduce my sauce a little to thicken.

in a small frypan, saute garlic,pepper,ginger, when done take out of pan and set aside.fry shrimp in same oil. when done dip in sauce, pour remaiing sauce over,garnish with some orange zest

i dont know, you might have to fight Kassandra over the shrimp, its her favorite. we are having a special cousins night that night.(her mom is working late and her dad is out of town working.)

we will be having cheese popcorn,shrimp,dessert pizza,pop... no veggies on the menu that night and a movie night.
 
Are you still using the borrowed camera? That is an awesome pic! Good Lord it looks good! It's hard to imagine a better looking plate of shrimp. I've got to try this one!
