More quick recipes for party foods

I particularly like this Garlic Ginger Sauce as a serving sauce /marinade with shrimp. Place the shrimp in a leak-proof storage bag or tupperware container and add the sauce; cover and refrigerate for an hour or so. Arrange the shrimp and sauce on a serving platter with the sauce over the shrimp.   If you use frozen shrimp (defrosted, of course) this is a snap to prepare and serve.


Garlic Ginger Sauce

Ingredients:

2 Tablespoons low-sodium Soy Sauce
1/2 cup  Joe and Son's Olive Press  Honey Ginger Balsamic Vinegar
2 cloves of fresh garlic, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup Joe and Son's Olive Press Dark Roasted Sesame Oil
1/4 cup Joe and Son's Olive Press Eureka Lemon EVOO
salt and pepper to taste, if desired

Directions:

Pour both oils into a pouring cup and set aside.

Place the remaining ingredients into a mixing bowl.  Stir to combine.   Slowly whisk in the oils to emulsify.

Makes about 1 cup; 1 tablespoon per serving...12 servings

In addition, this can be used as a sauce for grilled meats, a dressing for salads or steamed vegetables or even as a marinade for tofu.
