D and I whipped this up as part of our New Year's Eve festivities and served it with a sliced and toasted baguette. (We party hard, yeah!)
On first glance, the first thing I thought when I saw this recipe is "needs more garlic." But that's pretty much what I always think. I was skeptical of the water chestnuts. I know they add texture, but I don't particularly enjoy them because to me, they're just water-soaked bits of cardboard. But I went with them anyway.
After we polished off nearly the entire serving, three thoughts came to mind:
1. More garlic. Four cloves was not enough - for us, at least.
2. Ditch the water chestnuts. We just didn't like 'em.
3. More seasoning in general - I'd bump up the cayenne next time, or throw in some extra Mortson's Nature's Seasons. (Do you use this stuff? If not, get it now and throw out the salt and pepper shaker. This is all you're ever going to need. Trust me.)
Overall, we liked the recipe and would definitely make it again!
