Supreme Sauce

Classic sauce for seafood or salad dressing. This recipe is from my grandmother from when she lived at the Hotel del Coronado during WWII.
Ingredients:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup catsup
  • 1/2 pint buttermilk (Fresh, not frozen, makes it too thin) or sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 lemons — Juiced
  • salt and pepper
  • orange juice

Directions:

  1. Mix  mayo and catsup.
  2. Add buttermilk/sour cream, Worcestershire Sauce, lemon and orange juice.
  3. Mix well.
  4. Salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Thin with orange juice if needed.

Note: VAK (Mom) uses Miracle Whip, buttermilk and the juice of one lemon and one orange. That is how I make it also.
Serves: Make 1 quart.

Comments: Use as dip for cooked shrimp (30-32 size) with tails removed.  Also really good on avocado and shrimp/scallops/lobster  as an appetizer or salad.

    No this is the sauce that went with the California lobster, shrip and scallop wraps. I will post the salmon spread recipe later today.
