PUBLISHED ON: 10.21.2010
There are days when it does not seem there is enough hours in the day to make it all happen. This is an opportunity to reach out to one of my favorite bloggers and ask for help. Erica graciously provided one of her authentic Colombian recipes to share with you.
I have been following My Colombian Recipes www.Mycolombianrecipes.com loyally since I started blogging. Erica was born and raised in Colombia and now lives in the U.S.. Erica strives through her blog to bring awareness and appreciation for Colombian culture and food traditions. You may have already discovered her blog. If not, please take the time to stop by and say hello to her. You will not be disappointed.
Without further ado-Welcome back Erica!
This simple Shrimp with Anise Sauce is a traditional Colombian dish from the Department of Sucre, where plain white rice is always served to soak up the aromatic anise sauce.
This dish is so simple that once you make it, it’s pretty easy to remember.
Buen provecho!

We love anise anything and this shrimp dish looks divine. But I'm not familiar with anise extract. Wonder if I could use Pernod?Sam

Sounds wonderful! Love that it is easy. It is funny because I bought anise seeds for something and used a tiny, tiny bit, and then I thought what the heck am I going to do with these now. Well thank you because now I know..lol:)
