  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make homemade shrimp sauce? Pre-prepare the shrimp. You can take any of them: of different sizes, peeled or not, boiled or raw, but when served to the table they must be heat treated and cleaned. I take unpeeled frozen (boiled) shrimp. It is enough to defrost and clean them. But you can put them in boiling salted water for a couple of minutes. Clean the finished shrimp from the shell, tail and insides.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    I give several options for a delicious sauce. Sauce option number one, easy, fast and simple. Prepare the products for him. Take fresh sour cream, preferably with a fat content of 20%. Add salt to taste. And do this: prepare the sauce by mixing the products and gradually adding salt, tasting the sauce every time.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Wash and dry the fresh dill greens. Then finely chop. Peel the garlic clove from the husk and pass it through the press. In a deep bowl, mix sour cream, chopped fresh dill, garlic and salt passed through the press, mix evenly.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Serve the finished sauce chilled. When serving it, it is better to put it in a nice low sauce pan or a bowl. This is a light sauce that does not weigh down the meal. The amount of herbs, garlic and salt can be varied according to your taste.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    The sauce option number two will be a little heavier not in cooking, but in satiety. But I liked him more in a duet with shrimp. Depending on the ketchup you choose, the taste of this sauce will vary. It is also prepared in a matter of minutes. Prepare the products. Mayonnaise is homemade, ketchup is whatever you like. Wash and dry the greens. Chop the fresh parsley, pass the peeled garlic through the press.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    In a deep bowl, mix the right amount of ketchup, mayonnaise, chopped fresh parsley, garlic passed through a press. If necessary, add salt and pepper. Mix the sauce, put it in a nice low saucepan or bowl and you can serve it to the table with boiled shrimp.

I suggested the simplest options for shrimp sauce, which can be easily and quickly cooked at home. Moreover, the shrimp themselves and the sauce for them are prepared so quickly that they can be cooked when "guests are on the doorstep", as long as all the products are available for cooking.

By the way, these sauces can be served not only with shrimp. They will be good for cutlets, pasta, chicken and so on. It is quite possible to fill a salad with white!

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See the interesting ones here recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
