SHRIMP IN A MULTI-PURPOSE SAUCE/DIP
Makes two cups of a fantastic sauce/dip.I must tell you; I love this sauce. It is simple and easy to prepare, yet the flavor is great for seafood, crudites and just about anything else you might think of.
I particularly like it served over a plain boiled shrimp and used as an appetizer course or a happy hour goodie. It's also fabulous as a buffet table item.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 Whole green scallions, finely minced.
- Sub 1 tablespoon grated/minced sweet onion.
- 6 Tbs. Finely chopped, fresh green or red bell pepper.
- 2 Tbs. Prepared horseradish.

- 1/2 Cup Chili sauce.
- 1/2 Tsp. Crushed red pepper flakes.

- 1 Large garlic clove mashed.
PREPARATION
- Place scallions or onion, green or red pepper and horseradish in a fine meshed strainer and let drain for 15 minutes.
- To speed things up a bit you may alternately place the onion, pepper and horseradish in the center of a smooth-surfaced tea-towel and twist to drain.
- Combine mayonnaise and chili sauce in a bowl.
- Add red pepper flakes, black pepper, salt and garlic.
- Whisk well to combine.
- Add drained ingredients and whisk or mix well.
- Taste for salt, cover tightly and refrigerate.
