Description

Marie Rose Sauce is a classic British condiment made with mayonnaise, ketchup, and a hint of lemon juice, often seasoned with Worcestershire sauce and a dash of paprika. Its smooth and creamy texture is ideal for pairing with seafood, particularly prawns or shrimp.


Ingredients

  • Mayonnaise (4 tbsp): Forms the creamy base of the sauce.
  • Ketchup (2 tbsp): Adds sweetness and a pink color.
  • Lemon Juice (1 tsp): Provides a zesty tang.
  • Worcestershire Sauce (1 tsp): Adds depth and a savory touch.
  • Paprika (1/4 tsp): Optional, for a hint of smokiness.
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Step 1: Combine the base ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and ketchup. Stir until smooth and well blended.

Step 2: Add the seasonings

Stir in the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all the flavors.

Step 3: Season to taste

Add salt and pepper to taste. For a spicier version, mix in a few drops of Tabasco sauce.

Step 4: Chill and serve

Refrigerate the sauce for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled with your favorite seafood or as a dipping sauce.
