I frequently go on the web to find new recipes, and I am always trying new foods. This has to be one of the most disappointing and horribly tasting recipes I have ever had. The shrimp and chicken had a thick, chalky flour like taste. I couldn't even finish the dish. Very disappointing.

I gave it a 5 because my husband LOVES LOVES LOVES this...it is his favorite. I love the shrimp and the chicken is pretty good. We used yellow onions instead of red/purple. I guess it is just a taste thing. It looks beautiful and taste great. We are grilling it for my in-laws tonight and I am roasting some potatoes and making some corn on the cob...should all be delish. The directions are very specific heat the grill to the exact temperature and cook it the exact amount of time it says it shouldn't turn to mush...mine did not and I have cooked it a few times. This recipe is one that is not going to appeal to everyones tastes. It is different and that is why I like it. Give it a try!
