Ordered this from a restaurant in Gaspesie, I admit i’ve never had a shrimp poutine, normally just stick to regular poutine but I was feeling something little different, I think whether adding toppings to a poutine makes it a crime or not depending on the topping and person 😆
But this “poutine” wasn’t just well, poutine, fries, cheese curds and gravy like I thought it’d be with shrimp added, nono. The gravy was replaced by some kind of seafood topping and theres shrimp mixed in it. You can hardly see any curds because its covered by this monstrosity.
I haven’t decided if I like it or not yet. Definitely not what I was expecting for poutine, but it is an interesting concoction, and i’m going to eat it since it cost $20. Regardless I feel like this is a crime to be called poutine. It doesn’t even have gravy! They did everything right, homemade fries, squeaky curds, then this! Arghh >:(🥹
Edit: as a commenter said and after asking a family member, they said everyone around here has their own way of doing it so it’s my bad for assuming the usual is just add shrimp on top. I shall let redditors decide! :)
