From an ad in a magazine. Hellman's is a mayonnaise for those of you outside the United States (it is also know as Best Food's I think). The photo looks great.

This is a good recipe. I prefer to use this like a marinade for seafood and chicken.

Was looking for an Asian style marinade for some shrimp I bought. Was excited to try this and I'm sorry but I just thought the sauce tasted awful so I made the choice to dump it out and waste the ingredients rather than ruin my shrimp. 2 stars because the flavors are mostly good ones, I believe it was the mayo that ruined it. :(

This was great and something fancy to serve as an appetizer. Wouldn't make often as the mayo makes it quite rich for my tastes but it's a great recipe when you want to indulge. Great!
