Chili-Shrimp Waffles might just have become both my favorite waffle- and my favorite shrimp-recipe.
It is the best thing I have eaten for some time and as you know, I usually eat good 🙂
The key to the success of this dish is the balance between sweet and spicy.
The chili must not overpower the slight sweetness of the waffles, but it should deliver a kick of heat and flavor (the kick of a lady – not the kick of a mule), to support the shrimp in providing a balance of flavor and texture to the waffles.
