Reviews
ok i just made this tonight for the first time but the glaze didnt thicken what did i do wrong??
I have made this recipe many times, the more I make it the moreI enjoy it. The combination of wine and fruit juices merges with the apples, red pepper and prawns gives this dish a unique savory flavor.
I was greatly disappointed. I did not care for this recipe at all and found it very bland. All I could taste was the wine. Followed the recipe exactly and did not use salt and pepper as it did not call for it and it really needed it and something else. Will ditch the recipe. Not worth playing with to achieve something tasty.
It looks awesome but is there a way I could substitute alcohol for something else?
Absolutely fab. To the reader who’s sauce didn’t thicken up…you have to wait for the liquid to reach a boil in order for any thickening agent to do it’s job. If this didn’t come out to your specs, you are doing something wrong. Guy’s the best!
I love his show ,always try his recipes
I was so excited when I saw this on FN! The result however was like candied shrimp – GROSS!
We adapted the recipe by using a bottle of Spanish Sangria thickened with the corn starch after the reduction. Also, just sauted the shrimp w/o the rest of the ingredients and loved the result. Can’t wait to try it with pork loin.
I expected much more out of Guy’s recipe. It was very bland, even with the addition of red pepper.I would have to add alot to this recipe to condsider making it again.
this was delicious…as soon as we saw guy make it, my boyfriend and i knew we had to, so we made it for dinner the next day. we used sangria instead of the wine/sherry, and added crushed red pepper into the veggies like some other reviewers. i also just added the paprika to the shrimp when seasoning with salt and pepper. delicious! i’ll definitely make this again.
