Reviews
I was looking for a recipe that was good to put on fish and had a creole flair. I was making up the recipe and tasted along the way. I was getting pretty close to what I wanted until I added the vinegar. Ugh! This ruined the recipe. Will not make this recipe again.
I made it tonight and put it over baked chicken breast. It was really good! Had a flavor I wasn’t expecting at all, highly recommend everyone making it at least once
Will cook
