There were fourteen shrimp and it was February 14. Coincidence? The creamy cocktail sauce definitely had whisky in it, a first for me, but it was delicious. It didn't taste like the alcohol had been cooked out, but it really worked here. The sauce was a little sweet, tangy, salty, and alcoholic. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, and the dish came with a celery leaf garnish. This was my Valentine's dinner, and I fell in love with it! The restaurant itself was beautiful. I sat on the patio with lots of potted green plants and a small fountain. The smokiness and maltiness of Lado Oscuro, a Nicaraguan artisinal dark beer by Moropotante, went well with the whisky flavored cocktail sauce. The beer's label claimed notes of coffee and chocolate, which there were, but I also detected a slight fruitiness. So far, this is my favorite Nicaraguan beer. I love it!
