JAPANESE RESTAURANT SHRIMP SAUCE



Japanese Restaurant Shrimp Sauce image

We love the shrimp sauce at our local Japanese restaurant and I've worked from several recipes, adding my own tweaks and changes until I have found the right flavor for us. My husband says mine is better than the restaurant. :o) I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. It's wonderful with shrimp and veggies but also with chicken and steak! Do NOT substitute the Hellman's for some other kind of mayo. It makes a difference in the final product!

KOBE'S SHRIMP SAUCE

This is a sauce used in a popular chain Japanese restaurant in the southeastern US. It was given to me by a local chef and is his take on it but is extremely close to the original. It is advised not to use low-fat or light mayonnaise because of major flavor compensation. Enjoy!

My friend, a cook at our favorite Japanese restaurant finally gave me this recipe for their fabulous Shrimp Sauce. It's so good we dip our meat and veggies into it and then pour it over our rice too. And yes, it really does have peaches in it.

Time 10m

Yield 2 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup peaches in heavy syrup
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise (the real stuff)
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon honey (optional)
2 tablespoons ketchup or 2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients, except vinegar, in a blender and refrigerate overnight to let the flavors blend.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality shrimp. This will ensure that your sauce is flavorful and delicious.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy, so cook them until they are just opaque. You can also use store-bought shrimp that are already cooked and peeled.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise. This is the base of the sauce, so make sure it is flavorful and creamy.
  • Add some Sriracha sauce for a little heat. You can adjust the amount of Sriracha sauce you add depending on how spicy you like your sauce.
  • Serve the sauce immediately. This sauce is best when it is fresh, so don't make it ahead of time.

Conclusion:

Japanese restaurant shrimp sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for shrimp tempura, shrimp fried rice, or even as a dipping sauce for shrimp cocktail. This sauce is also very easy to make, so you can enjoy it at home without having to go to a restaurant. Give it a try today and see for yourself how delicious it is!
