This is absolutely fantastic! There’s no fishy after taste at all. This recipe is totally a God inspired thing...and I give Him full credit for it! The thought of using dill pickle juice to bake the fish and shrimp simply came to me. Before testing this idea I doubted it would be good, but I gave it a try anyway, because as the “cookbook lady” using ordinary ingredients in creative ways to create extraordinary recipes is a gift God uses through me. This is one of those inspired recipes that is so fantastic it literally shocked me at how fantastic it is!
If you are the least bit hesitant to try this, yet you like dill, then I want to encourage you to set aside your fears because without a shadow of a doubt I know 100% you are absolutely-positively going to like it for sure! |
