| well tom we made it to st elmo's today and though we are $40 lighter in |
| the wallet i have the much sought after recipe. this is from the |
| bartender and he even gave us a nice amount to bring home. |
| |
| he said the "secret" is having the freshest, hottest horseradish, grated |
| coarsely, soaked overnight in vinegar, strained and mixed with heinz |
| ketchup. that's it. and believe me it is hot, dh and i love anything |
| hot, we especially like wasabi and this stuff was set your tongue on |
| fire hot! the bartender told us that one time the horseradish they were |
| getting wasn't hot enough and they sent him to chicago to get some |
| there. as we were at the bar we watched them bring out a tub of |
| horseradish, grated, of about 30 pounds. they mix it right near the |
| front door and have a window that overlooks the street. |
| |
| tom's version: shave the horseradish and place in a covered container |
| along with the vinegar. refrigerate overnight. |
| drain the horseradish. |
| mix two tablespoons of the horseradish with 2 cups of the chili sauce. |
| add two squirts of fresh lemon juice and four large squirts of fresh |
| lime juice. |
| place four cooked shrimp in each serving vessel surround with lemon |
| wedges and about 1/2 cup of the sauce for each serving. |
