Amazeballs!! We just got back from Maui and visited Joey’s kitchen in Napili multiple times. I also saw him make it from the triple D episode so was excited to make it. No calamansi in Texas – at least close by- found a good sub in Meyer lemon and it was perfect! I thought the basil would make it too strong but it was perfect with the rest of the ingredients. Quick cook time once you prep everything- Tasted like a Hawaiian-Filipino bbq shrimp equivalent to New Orleans bbq shrimp. I just wanted to drink the sauce up! This would make a great party appetizer or serve with huli huli chicken and fresh pineapple! Took us right back to the islands. Maraming Salamat Joey!
