Key Lime Guava Shrimp Recipe

While I was flipping through a Travelhost magazine, I saw a picture of this shrimp recipe that looked outstanding. The recipe was really simple. The shrimp is just sauteed in butter with a little bit of salt and pepper. For the sauce, I used the blender to mix together guava paste, key lime juice, ginger, soy sauce, and parsley until it was smooth. I served the sauce along side the shrimp with brown rice and broccoli.

The sauce had a very strong, tangy flavor that went really well with the simplicity of the sauteed shrimp. I thought it would be too sweet because of the guava pasta, but the key lime juice balanced the sweetness and the parsley brought a freshness to the sauce. The sauce also paired nicely with the brown rice, giving it a zing of citrus. Strangely enough, my key lime guava shrimp looked absolutely nothing like the picture in the Travelhost magazine, but they still tasted good.
