In the Kitchen with Ken: Achiote Shrimp

[rxmd]

In the description you have lime juice but the as you read on you have lemon juice. Which one is it?

Is an Achiote a kind of pepper?

[InTheKitchenWithKen]

@Michael55443 Achiote paste, is a thick, deep-red seasoning that originated in the Yucatán region of Mexico. It comes from heart-shaped fruits of a tropical shrub or small tree. When the fruit fully matures, the fruits split open exposing the numerous seeds. The seeds are ground down and mixed with other various seasonings. There are actually many different types of paste that can be made with the seeds from the fruit depending on what is used.

Thanks

@InTheKitchenWithKen Very interesting! Thanks for the information!

[InTheKitchenWithKen]

@InTheKitchenWithKen you could use either or mixture of both I like to use lime juice though sorry for the confusion. Once I get in the kitchen and start cooking i sometimes get off path from what I have written down.
