What do people like to dip their cooled boiled shrimp into, to
minimize the carb count? I need some good ideas. RebeccaJ |

shrimp cocktail?
I make my own cocktail sauce
I use Heinz one carb ketchup. Horseradish, Lemon juice and worcestershire. You still have to be careful but if you put in enough horseradish it doesn't take as much. You can also just dip them in melted butter. "RebeccaJ" wrote in message ... What do people like to dip their cooled boiled shrimp into, to minimize the carb count? I need some good ideas. RebeccaJ |

Why bother diluting the delicious flavor of the shrimp if you're trying to keep your carb count low. I also like a sprinkling of mixed green herbs on a plate. Touch the shrimp in it, eat the herbed shrimp. Old Bay seasoning should work fine this way as well. |

Which green herbs do you like that way in particular? Can you use dried? I tend to use one of the dried premixed options from Spice Islands like their "Italian Seasoning". Thinking about this, I also maintain a bottle of Japanese "San Sho" green hot pepper powder. It's generally served with bbq sea eel (Unagi kabiyaki) but it should be great dusted onto shrimp. The red version whose name escapes my at the moment I use on pizza (sausage meat crust listed as "No Dough" on the menu). Powdered wasabi should work as it has the same chemical as horseradish. American wasabi is often made with horseradish and green coloring because of this, real wasabi is different and wonderful. |

I don't do shrimp, but have recently been doing scallops in a great dressing with about a quarter cup of Greek yogurt, about half a finely minced shallot, and a glug of lime juice. It's quite nice. -- http://www.ornery-geeks.org/consulting/ |
