Piri Piri Sauce

Monday, 26 May 2008

Description

Cuvée Executive Chef Dean Brunner notes: "It consists of habaneros (and a few other seriously hot donations from local fans), plus jalapeños. We like the burn to have great spirit but also be well balanced." He suggests marinating the shrimp in the sauce for at least an hour before grilling them.
