This was served to us at a "Thank You Party" for my husband and his crew, after they built a boathouse in a family compound overlooking the ocean. We were sitting outside on the deck, enjoying the delicious meal, and this was the finale. I requested the recipe and it was mailed to me in 2008. Thanks to Dr. M.S. and her housekeeper!
