ASIAN SHRIMP COCKTAIL SAUCE
An incredible alternative to the red stuff! I have served this a half dozen times as of the posting this recipe -- which is precisely WHY I'm posting the recipe, because people ALWAYS bug me to death for it after they taste this delicious dipping sauce. And if you like to skewer and grill your shrimp on the barbeque, it makes a great "mop sauce" too. Friends, you're bound to enjoy this one. My hats off to Hellman's for the recipe!
