Kobe's Shrimp Sauce Recipe #106028

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!

1 (16 ounce) jar mayonnaise (Do not use low-fat or light)

1 tablespoon sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon garlic juice

1 teaspoon ketchup

1/4 teaspoon hot sauce (Tabasco recommended)

1 teaspoon ground mustard

1 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon white pepper

1/4 cup water

Put mayonnaise into a semi-large bowl.

Add the rest of the ingredients except the water.

Mix well.

Add water according to your preferred consistency.

Note: Sauce tends to thicken under refrigeration.

Answer 2

1-1/4 cup Hellman's mayonnaise

1/4 cup water

1 teaspoon tomato paste

1 tablespoon melted butter

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon sugar

1/4 teaspoon paprika

dash cayenne pepper

Using a fork or a whisk, blend all ingredients together thoroughly until well mixed and the sauce is smooth. Refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to blend. Bring to room temperature before serving.

The sauce will NOT taste right if you don't let it sit overnight. And please don't try to substitute ketchup for the tomato paste! The water is needed to bring this to the right consistency.
