Queezle_Sister from Salt Lake City, UT

Beautiful supremed grapefruit, with shallots (fresh), and dressed with dried shrimp powder, toasted chickpea flour, fish sauce, and shallot oil.

My first bite was an explosion of flavor. The bright flavor of grapefruit with the savory flavors from the shrimp and fish sauce were very strange. About half the bites I loved and half I thought were really weird.

I wish I had saved the leftovers - perhaps they would improve with a bit of sitting.

The teenagers couldn't eat this, my husband found it fascinating, and like I said, I was on the fence. But I have to admit it was a really new flavor combination, and I would consider trying to prepare this again in the future.
