How to Make

  • Step 1: Cucumber ... Even though the English (or often called seedless) cucumber is basically seedless; they do have some seeds which I prefer to remove. First off - peel the cucumber; then, cut in half lengthwise, take a spoon and run it down the middle to remove the seeds. Then, lastly, mince. Transfer the cucumber to a paper towel to lightly drain or dry. This only takes a couple of minutes; just enough to absorb some of the moisture. Then add the cucumber to a small bowl.

  • Step 2: Sauce ... Add the shallot, chili, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper to the bowl with the cucumbers. Mix and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving.

  • Step 3: Serve and ENJOY! Spoon a little of the sauce over your fresh, steamed or grilled seafood. Fantastic on fresh shucked oysters; steamed clams or mussels; or one of my favorites, pan seared scallops. It is a very fresh sauce that really highlights the flavor of the seafood.

  • Step 4: Serve and ENJOY! Spoon over raw or steamed/grilled seafood.
