Author Notes: What's better than a shrimp cocktail? And with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce you have one heck of an appetizer! - inpatskitchen
Serves quite a few as an appetizer
- 2 pounds peeled, deveined shrimp, tails on ( the larger the better!)
- 1 lemon, quartered
- 1 bay leaf, halved
- 1 cup mayo
- 1 tablespoon Sambal Oelek ( or more if you like)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- Salt for seasoning
- In a 4 to 6 quart pot bring 3 quarts water, the lemon quarters and the bay leaf up to a rolling boil. Add the shrimp, bring back up to just barely simmering, put a lid on the pot and turn off the heat. Let sit for about 5 minutes, then drain in a colander, rinse and then chill in the refrigerator.
- Place the mayo, Sambal Oelek, lime juice, honey and raspberries in the bowl of a mini food processor. Process until smooth. Taste and add salt and more Sambal Oelek if desired.
- Place sauce in a serving bowl and surround with beautiful shrimp!

Such an unusual twist...will try soon, I'm thinking about using it in an asian shrimp wrap sandwich, with the dip as the slaw "dressing"? What do you think?
