Grand Prize Winner/Entrees in the first annual Cooking Light Ultimate Reader Recipe Contest, where she received a $10,000 prize and a $5000 family vacation. Courtesy of Karen Tedesco, Webster Groves, Mo. "The sauce that accompanies the shrimp is one of my favorites. I've used it as a dipping sauce for vegetables, and to top grilled chicken and salmon." Please ignore the long laundry list of ingredients, the cooking is easy.
