I made this reciepe picturing myself under the shadow of an oak tree, during a colorfl and joyful Gullah Geechee open air party: people dancing on a traditional soundtrack, children running and playing and a rich table laden with food. Easy to share, but tasty and remainding to the ancient flavors of this beautyful people.

Savory red rice

The water-flour proportion are indicative, based on the type of flour you have available, the important thing is to obtain a rather dense mass. Add the sesame seeds, mix and spread on a sheet of baking paper; cover with another sheet of paper, spread with a rolling pin to obtaina thin layer, uncover, cut into irregular lozenges and bake at 350 °F for about 20 minutes, until the chips became crispy. Serve cold.

In the meantime, cut the pepper into lozenges of about 1 inch; fry them in the pan greased with oil for about 2 minutes every side, they should only be softened slightly. Compose the skewers with a shrimp and a piece of pepper; fry them for 3-4 minutes adding a pinch of salt and black pepper.
