If you use the Tropical fruit cups from Delmonte, not in a can, there will be no " tin can " flavor! With regards to " limp shrimp ", I learned a trick from my mother...when you buy pre-cooked shrimp from the store, ALWAYS bring it home and pop them in a large bowl of ICE WATER for approximately 5 minutes; drain through a collander and dry, then wrap them in paper towels and place in plastic bag in refrigerator to keep cold. That firms them up.
Once ready to cook, THEY ROCK!!! As does this recipe! We live where fresh seafood is a staple, so finding new recipes is always a challenge.
Thanks Sandy!! No changes to this recipe except to firm up the shrimp ahead of time and use fruit cups now, instead of cans.
