Shrimp (Pink) Sauce Copycat from Lings / Kims Chinese in Medford

TheShields's Note:

Shrimp sauce (or pink sauce) is a staple in Southern Oregon Chinese restaurants. It is served with (and eaten with) just about everything from Mar Far chicken to Fried Rice. It is especially yummy as a dip for egg rolls or even pork and seeds. This is the closest copycat recipe I have found for this sauce. It is a variation of a recipe printed in our local newspaper in response to a request for the recipe.

I used this recipe and it was exactly what I needed. None of the chinese places up here have it! Now, where do I find Kim's egg roll recipe to go with it?!

GOD BLESS YOU PEOPLE!! Thank you for this recipe! I live in the SF Bay Area now, but have been dreaming dreaming dreaming of Kim's in Medford. It breaks my heart that they are gone now. I can't tell you how many half-a-number-nine's (half order of #9: Mar Far Chicken, Fried Rice, Fried Shrimp - swimming in the shrimp sauce) I have put away over the years.

Really fond memories of that place and this sauce. Thank you so much for putting it up for the rest of us.

This is all right but not the sauce at our local Chinese restaurants. Each restaurants sauce is slightly different between the restaurants. I have never been to a restaurant where the sauce taste like this. Something is still missing. Oh the search continues.
