We decided to have a tropical dinner out on the deck last night. When I say tropical, that would include anything Hawaiian, Caribbean and Mexican, too. Tropical usually means seafood for me as well. So, we had a little of all that tropical stuff.
We had blackened shrimp, pineapple fried rice and black beans.
For the black beans, I just drain a can of beans, add a couple big spoonfuls of salsa and a sprinkle of cumin. Is that not the authentic Cuban way?? Maybe not, but I like it!
A tropical drink would be great with this meal, too. Have a mojito, margarita or daquiri!
