Shrimp and Crab Sauce

8/10/2013

I like spicy sauces for crab or shrimp.  If you’re eating out and getting a shrimp cocktail, you want the sauce to bite you.  Similarly, if you’re having crab cakes, the extra heat in the dip enhances the crab.

If you’re a non-spicy food person, neither of these are for you.  But if you like to prepare your own dips for shrimp or crab, here are two easy ones.

The basic one, which most people know, is horseradish mixed with ketchup.  But, to get that extra kick, up the horseradish so it makes your nose burn.  Taste as you blend the two together until you get it just the way you want it.  The best part is if no one else likes it, you get to eat all the crab and shrimp.

The other way to heat up the dipping sauce is to use Tabasco.  It won’t give you the same texture but it’s different and good.  If you’re trying this for the first time, again, taste it as you go.  Add just a drop of lime.  That seems to give it a unique touch. 

Hey, and if neither of these turn out the way you want, just make sure you have a store bought jar of cocktail sauce on hand.  You can impress guests by pretending you’d whipped it up yourself.
