Spicy Dipping Sauce - Conquer the Crave

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. Serve with my seared sea scallops or with any fish or seafood. I think grilled shrimp would be great! Or even cooked, cold shrimp would pair nicely with this on a hot day. You can serve the sauce hot or cold.

Serving size: One serving is 2 Tbl max. You have to watch anything with Bragg’s in it. It’s better than soy sauce but you’ll still have a tendency to gain or stall for a day if you eat too much. Serious sodium. I probably don’t use more than a single tablespoon for my serving but my husband snarfed up all of his and most of my leftovers. I gently dip, just to barely coat the bite of food.

How spicy this is will depend on how much of the red pepper flakes you use. It does not take a lot to make this flaming hot because you are heating the peppers and that brings out the heat.

Ingredients:

3 tsp of minced garlic
2 Tbl of Bragg’s Aminos
2 Tbl of rice wine vinegar
1 tsp of Truvia
¼ – ½ tsp of red pepper flakes (or to your liking. I used a ¼ tsp and my mouth was WELL heated)
2 Tlb of lemon juice
1 Tbl of fresh cilantro, minced

Instructions:

Put all of the ingredients except the cilantro in a very small sauce pan. Heat until bubbling. Turn off. Add cilantro and stir.

This dipping sauce can be served with any kind of fish or seafood. I paired it with my seared sea scallops recipe and Asian veggie stir fry for a delicious meal. If you do fish you can drizzle it over the top but be sure to taste test to make sure you can handle the heat. Some love heat!

Enjoy!

Cheers,
