[Sca-cooks] Jumbo Shrimp in Caramel Pepper-Garlic Sauce

[tom.vincent at yahoo.com]

Yep, that's it!  Thanks!  I got a lot of turned-up noses at the tables when I brought out the malt vinegar. :)  Someone actually put together a quicky shrimp cocktail sauce from ingredients they found in the kitchen. :)
 
What *really* didn't go over well were the chicken hearts marinated in cider vinegar, parsley and cinnamon.  Fourteen pounds of chicken hearts.

That's because in the original "Shrympes" recipe the cook was using,  
it  very
clearly states "and no sauce but vinegar".  And darn it, I can't  
find  the
original right now, but I've used it for a mundane demo food :-) >>>

I believe this is the recipe which you are thinking of:
===
>From Harleian MS. 4016 (c. 1450) (1)

"Shrympes. Take Shrympes, and seth hem in water and a litull salt,  
and lete hem boile ones or a litull more. And serue hem for the  
colde: and no maner sauce but vinegre."
===
