Lime Garlic Dipping Sauce Food

GARLIC, CILANTRO, AND LIME SAUTEED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion, garlic, salt, and pepper in hot oil until onion is soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
• Stir shrimp into onion mixture; saute until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 2 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper. Add cilantro and lime juice; toss to coat.

CHILE-LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, garlic, jalapeños, and brown sugar. (Or, in a 12-ounce/180-ml or larger jar with a lid, combine the ingredients, cover, then shake vigorously.) Dip a piece of lettuce in the dressing and check the seasonings; add more jalapeños, if you like. The sauce should have a balance of hot, sweet, sour, and salty, which is typical of Thai foods. Keep, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
