This is the last of our Cuisine at Home recipes for this week's meals. Chef D does not really care for hot food on salad, so I added a fried rice at the last minute (using the leftover basmati rice from last Friday). I sauted some red onion and fresh minced garlic in some peanut oil, crumbled in the rice with a little salt, and fried it up enough to separate all the grains and get it warmed up.This was a fairly easy meal to prepare. Even though it seemed a little strange to layer the shrimp's sauce onto the salad, I decided to give it a try. The flavor's seemed to go quite well with the Caesar dressing (which I did not make from the recipe but used a bottled version I already had in the icebox). I was not sure if the rice would go with the meal, but it was a nice addition for me.
Chef D suggested that I not use the giant shrimp next time as their flavor is really not special for the increased price to procure them. The shrimp's sauce was also a bit strong for his taste. But, he did make a happy plate, so I call it a successful night.
