    Camarones con salsa de AnisPin

    This simple Shrimp with Anise Sauce is a traditional Colombian dish from the department of Sucre, where plain white rice is always served to soak up the aromatic anise sauce.

    This dish is so simple that once you make it, it's pretty easy to remember.

    Buen provecho and have a nice weekend!

      I absolutely love the flavor of anise and use star anise and fennel in a lot of dishes. I like the idea of making it the star of this sauce and look forward to trying it.

      Thank you for this delightful recipe. I prepared it tonight for a special friend (whose is from Colombia) to honor their world cup triumph. She had not heard of the dish, but we enjoyed it very much.
      Looking forward to sharing more recipes in the future. Abrazos.

      The sauce is a little thick. Going to try and thin with added wine. Can’t wait to have this
