Special Spicy Seafood Sauce

Provided by: Taste of Home

'I've been serving this tangy seafood sauce for over 30 years, and I'm always asked for the recipe,' says Carolyn Chapman, Snohomish, Washington. 'Low in fat and easy to make, it's a great seafood sauce to serve with a cold shrimp as an appetizer. The recipe is easy to halve or double, too. I've found it's usually smart to make extra.

My husband came home from a men's brunch raving about this one, and the hostess shared the recipe. Just be sure to make more than you think you might need...everybody wants seconds. -Myrt Pflannkuche, Pell City, Alabama
