FYI the correct spelling is Minorcan as in the Island of Minorca and the more authentic recipe uses the Dat’il pepper or Dat’il pepper sauce... This is a pepper that only grows in and around St. Augustine. Florida where the recipe originated hundreds of years ago by the Survivors of a shipwreck of Minorca’s that settled in St. Aug. <br />Using the Dat'il Pepper, rated on the Scoville Scale 100,000 to 300,000SHU, you can skip the Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce and Creole Seasoning (really Creole? This is a North Florida recipe, not a NOLA recipe!) <br />
