    Is the hidalgo a giant serrano? I googled it but am not sure. I use to get these serrano's at a Mexican grocer and they were 4 inches long. All other serranos were 1 inch long.

    This soundg really, really good! I used to be a real wimp with the heat, but am gradually working it up! (Still sorta wimpy, though!) But I think like a lot of others, I'll try this out. I love the compllexity of flavors you've combined! Trigger's got the right idea! Start out easy, and taste as you go forward!

    P.S Just a note- never ever fool around after handeling habeneros. Can I say that? Well anyway just thought I would put it out there. Dangerous, very dangerous.

    Oh, this with your shrimp Caribbean ceviche is going to be HOT! 6 habeneros sounds like a lot to me too, even though I like the heat, but I will try your tip of gradually adding to taste. Then I can share it will all the neighbors :) Thanks Michael! ^5

    SOLD ! As you noticed i love making dressings and sauces as commercial sauces always have chemicals, preservatives and poor ingredients. This recipe is interestingly unique and i like the fact you used chipotle in a BBQ sauce! I cant wait to give it a try and i'm sure that i wont be hitting the grills without it anymore :D. that a well deserved 5 my friend !
    ( I also like the fact you used quality oils and vinegar rather than sunflower oil and white vinegar. It makes all the difference.)
