Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Shrimp With Tart Dipping Sauce

These would make for great appetizers for any party or holiday.... the sauce is not cooked and does contain 1/4 cup of wine, so if that is not safe for you, then stay way from the sauce. I think the chives would be safe for most since they are cooked a little.

Shrimp With Tart Dipping Sauce

35 medium-size shrimp (about 1 lb. Total), shelled and deveined
35 whole chives (about 7 inches long each)
� cup dry white wine
� white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced shallots
1 tablespoon minced chives
� teaspoon pepper

In a 4-to-6-quart pan, bring about 1 quart water to a boil over high heat. Add shrimp; reduce heat, cover, and simmer until opaque in center; cut to test (3 to 4 minutes). Lift out and immerse in ice water until cool. Drain and set aside.

Drop whole chives into pan and cook just until wilted (about 5 seconds). Remove immediately with tongs. Tie a chive around center of each shrimp.

In shallow bowl, stir together wine, vinegar, shallots, minced chives, and pepper. Arrange shrimp on a platter and offer the sauce.
Makes 8 servings (about 4 appetizers per serving).
