After a tumultuous battle of the books in the GW library, R treated me to a four-day weekend in the beautiful, sunny Bahamas! Our first day we sat and ate snapper, rice and peas, washed down with some Sands, the local Bahamanian brew.
Much to R's dismay, the table next to us had ordered (and not eaten!) the last of his beloved conch fritters. Our 4 days entailed a long and conch-less quest for those damn things; we were either too early for them to be made, or too late. Frustrated and fritterless, we opted to make our own delicious meal. We picked up 2 lbs of fresh shrimp and 4 grouper filets down at the dock and headed to the kitchen. I made stuffed poblano peppers with garlic shrimp, rice and cheese cubes (my secret ingredient?...spicy nacho cheese!). R made a sweet and (uber) spicy red pepper sauce with cinnamon, onions and we flash fried the filets. With a bottle of 3.99 Procescco, and the moonlight above, conch fritters were
a distant memory! (at least for me...)
