Hi Everyone,

Looking for a couple different dipping sauces. Game for any kind of taste.

Thanks

Good friends of ours own a Thai restaurant and they make a really nice seafood/shrimp dipping sauce - that is if you don't mind chilli

If you have a mortar & pestle, pound 2-3 small chillis (bird-eye, serrano etc are pretty hot if you're not used to it) You can use less. Pound the chillis with one clove of garlic and some salt until pastey enough. To that you add 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice - lime would be much better. Then add fish sauce and artificial sweetener. Add enough sweet, sour, salty and sweet so not one is stronger than the other. It's difficult to give exact quantities, but go by taste and I can tell you, it goes really well with freshly cooked shrimp or seafood!

Chilled Shrimp with Dipping Sauce

1 C. fresh cilantro
1 T. fresh ginger, chopped
2 cloves garlic
2 scallions, sliced
1 tsp. sugar substitute
3 T. vegetable oil
3 T. fresh lime juice
1 C. heavy cream
2 lb. medium or large shrimp, peeled with tails left on

In a food processor, combine cilantro, ginger, garlic, scallions, and process until finely chopped. Add sugar, oil and lime juice and mix well. Toss shrimp in mixture until coated. Cover bowl and chill 1 hour.

Spoon the shrimp out of marinade and saute lightly until cooked. Arrange on serving plate and chill.

Add reserved marinade to the liquid from the cooked shrimp stirring, until the liquid evaporates, leaving a thick green puree. Add cream and boil again, stirring constantly until thick. Do not reduce too much as this sauce thickens as it cools.

Pour sauce into a serving bowl and refrigerate with the shrimp until both are chilled and ready to serve.
