Strawberry Shrimp | Great Food Forum

Thought I’d post this recipe with the holidays upon us. This recipe, I think is from a cookbook from the 80’s “Cooking with The New American Chef’s” but don’t remember. All I really do remember is that the Chef’s in the book, went on to become “big names” in the 90’s and beyond. I’ve done the recipe a written but have also subbed out tempura batter, as we had it on the line, and why make another batter, when the tempura works. I do remember getting a WTF were you thinking when I ran this as a special from the Chef, the look on his face, when I printed up the sales report the next morning, and gave it to him, said it all.
