CR Friendly Spicy Shrimp Cocktail Sauce
We're going to a potluck tonight, and I'm not sure how many folks are coming, so I thought a shrimp tray would be a safe thing to bring since if there are leftovers, we (and Kieffer!) can always eat them. It came with a small tub of cocktail sauce, but that stuff is of course filled with salt and sugar, so I thought I'd try my hand at a CR-friendly version. I just finished it and it's good! Here's the recipe:
1 small can no salt added tomato sauce (not paste)
about a tablespoon horseradish
juice of half a lemon, fresh
shake of garlic powder
tiny pinch of pure sucralose, or tiny dash of Splenda to taste if you can't get pure sucralose
It worked really, really well. It's a bit more liquidy than your average cocktail sauce, but it's good so I don't see the point in adding a thickener. And VERY low calorie: about 15 calories per quarter cup, which is definitely enough to dip a whole lot of shrimp in!
Tomorrow I'll be working on my CR-friendly wing sauce recipe!

If you make it for me, you'd better supply a bib! Liquidy dips & sauces invariably find their way to the front of whatever I'm wearing (especially if it requires dry cleaning!) Sounds yummy, though! JD :-)
