Lively Sauce Tastes Like More

Lively Sauce Tastes Like More

We first tasted a spicy Comeback Sauce drizzled over freshly boiled shrimp at a fishing camp on the Louisiana Gulf Coast. Ladd and Dee Hey of Jackson, Mississippi, served the sauce with most of the seafood – oysters, shrimp, blue crab, redfish, speckled trout and more – they cooked at their camp at Pointe Fourchon near the mouth of Bayou Lafourche. The remoulade-like sauce was good on everything.

Last week I decided to try Comeback Sauce as a dressing for cabbage slaw. Delicious again. Next, I spooned the luscious sauce over a salad of mixed greens and roasted vegetables. Then, tried it as a creamy dunk for broccoli florets. It’s fine with asparagus, too.

The sauce is aptly named. You’ll “come back” to it often for everything from salads to seafood and vegetables. Keep a jar of Comeback Sauce in the refrigerator and ready for the table.
