I love using cocktail sauce for dipping boiled or grilled shrimp. When I don’t make my own I grab a bottle or two of cocktail sauce at the store. But there are times when you want something different. A different flavor than cocktail sauce, something fruity. Something without horseradish.
Bring On The Shrimp
This mango-basil dipping sauce is different. It has a fantastic tropical flavor, making it perfect for shrimp.
You can make other variations of this great mango-basil dipping sauce simply by substituting other fruits for the mango, such as papaya or pineapple. If you want a little kick to your sauce, add a bit of hot sauce (preferably something fruity, like a habanero sauce) or even some red pepper flakes. You can use different flavored hot sauces too, to come up with totally new versions of this dipping sauce. Cholula, one of my favorite hot sauces, makes this 5-pack that has all sorts of different flavored sauces.

For the shrimp, I made a batch of copycat Bubba Gump shrimp on my Char-Broil Big Easy.
Also try my Delta Dippin’ sauce. It’s mighty yummy too!
