Smoky Lime Chile Dipping Sauce Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl, stirring to combine.
• Serve with spring rolls, dim sums, won-tons or any other finger food.

Steps:

• Stir fish sauce, lime juice, and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl. Add sugar; stir until it has dissolved. Stir in garlic and chile sauce or chopped chile. Sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Remove the stems from the chillies, then tip onto a sheet of foil with the garlic cloves, a drizzle of olive oil, caster sugar and some salt. Lift the sides of the foil up and scrunch to close.
• Grill on the barbecue (or roast at 160C/140C fan/gas 3) for 30 mins until the garlic is soft. Tip into a large pestle and mortar or food processor with 1 tbsp olive oil, and crush or blitz to a chunky sauce. Will keep in the fridge for up to two days.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place the cauliflower florets on a sheet pan. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with the chile-lime seasoning, cumin, salt and pepper. Toss to coat and bake until the cauliflower is roasted and browned, about 25 minutes.
• For the smokey mayo: Meanwhile, make the sauce by adding the mayonnaise, honey, smoked paprika, salt, garlic, lime juice, chipotle pepper and adobo sauce to a bowl. Whisk together until smooth and incorporated.
• Remove the cauliflower from the oven and transfer to a platter. Drizzle the sauce over the top and garnish with the scallions.

Steps:

• Whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, green onions, garlic, lime juice, and chipotle chile together in a bowl until blended. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until needed.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the shrimp with the salt and pepper, coating them evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours.
• Meanwhile, start the sauce: In a blender, combine the chiles, garlic, lime juice, and salt and blend until the bits are the size of a match head. Transfer to a small bowl, cover, and keep at room temperature.
• Heat a smoker to 225°F. Rinse the seasoning off the shrimp and pat dry with paper towels. Place the shrimp in the smoker and smoke until they turn dark coral, 20 to 25 minutes.
• While the shrimp are smoking, stir the sugar and fish sauce into the sauce, then taste and adjust the seasoning with more fish sauce if needed. Aim for sour and hot first, then salty and just a tad bit of sweetness. Stir in the cilantro.
• Serve the shrimp with the sauce.
