Although we prefer a cooking method that lends more flavor to fish, if you like your fish steamed, this is an excellent method.
While the bananas cook, scoop the ice cream into individual bowls so they are ready to go once the sauce has been flambéed. Before flambéing, make sure to roll up long shirt sleeves, tie back long hair, turn off the exhaust fan (otherwise the fan may pull the flames up) and turn off any lit burners (this is critical if you have a gas stove). A dark rum like Myers will give this dish a potent rum flavor, for less intense rum flavor, use a variety like Bacardi Gold.
If you have extra time, replace the water in the recipe below with a quick shrimp broth made by simmering the shrimp shells with 1/3 cup water in a covered saucepan for about 10 minutes; strain out the shells and reserve 1/4 cup broth for stir-fry recipe.
