Shrimp Sauce

This is a copycat version of the orange seafood sauce they serve at my local Japanese steakhouse. It's almost exactly like theirs and goes fabulously with sautéed shrimp. I even used it as a dressing on po' boy sandwiches - delish. Cook time includes overnight refrigeration.

• Ready In: 8 hrs 5 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄4 cups mayonnaise
• 1⁄4 cup water
• 1  teaspoon tomato paste
• 1  tablespoon butter, melted
• 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3⁄4 teaspoon sugar
• 1⁄4 teaspoon paprika
• 1  dash cayenne pepper

Directions

1. Whisk all ingredients together in a non-metal bowl until sauce is smooth.
2. Refrigerate overnight to blend flavors.
3. Cook's Note: This sauce really doesn't taste quite right unless it's refrigerated for about 8 hours.
