Happy 420 – Carurú De Camarón
So in honor of the annual celebration that is 420, I whipped up a little something something in the kitchen–Carurú De Camarón. And before you ask, no, it was not a “420 dinner,” as some folks might suspect given the date, just the basic ingredients, with no special sauce 😉
So the dish I made is one I really enjoy, and have made 6-7 times over the past year, always trying out variations on the ingredients, ratios, etc. Here’s a photo of the cook in his element.
So in terms of past experiments with this dish, I would give this about a 3/5, as it was lacking in flavor and accompanying dishes. That was mostly due to my laziness and poor planning, but whatever. Also, I was out of dende oil, shrimp flakes and used lemon juice instead of lime, all of which changed the flavor in subtle but important ways. Hence my 2 point downgrade.
You can see more of the cooking action below.

And since we’re on the subject of 420, let’s end the abhorrent War on Drugs! More info here and also here.
Until next time…legalize it.
