Pink sauce, known in Spanish as salsa rosa, is very good served with cold langoustines or any shellfish as a first course. This sauce is creamy and just slightly sweet, but with a bit of a bite from the Tabasco sauce. It's like a Spanish version of cocktail sauce, but creamier.

 

What You'll Need

  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup catsup
  • 1 tbsp. brandy
  • 3 to 4 drops of Tabasco sauce
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • Salt to taste

How to Make It

  1. Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix with a fork or wire whisk until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add additional Tabasco sauce and salt to taste.
  3. Serve in a bowl.
