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!

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will give your sauce the best flavor. If you can't find fresh shrimp, frozen shrimp will work in a pinch. Just be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes, until it is pink and opaque.
  • Use a good quality soy sauce: Soy sauce is a key ingredient in this sauce, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a soy sauce that is brewed naturally and has a rich, complex flavor.
  • Adjust the spiciness to your liking: This sauce can be made as spicy or mild as you like. If you like spicy food, add more Sriracha or chili sauce. If you prefer a milder sauce, omit the Sriracha or chili sauce altogether.
  • Serve the sauce immediately: This sauce is best served immediately after it is made. However, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This Japanese shrimp sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for dipping shrimp, chicken, or vegetables. It can also be used as a marinade or glaze for grilled or roasted meats. No matter how you use it, this sauce is sure to add a burst of flavor to your next meal.
