Muối Ớt Xanh green sauce is perfect for dipping seafood or grilled meats. Also known as Vietnamese green seafood sauce is a slightly sweet yet refreshing sauce. It has lime leaves, condensed milk, lime juice, sugar and salt. This combination of ingredients will surely give any seafood a pop of insane flavor. Let’s check out this easy recipe!
Anytime I think of a nice dipping sauce for cooked shrimp or seafood the first sauce that pops up is shrimp cocktail sauce. The red sauce is commonly known as the one sauce for parties and get-togethers that is placed neatly in the center of a shrimp cocktail ring. Shrimp cocktail has ketchup, mild chili sauce, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce.
This Vietnamese seafood dipping sauce has very similar ingredients but this green sauce is sweet and refreshing compared to shrimp cocktail sauce. The contrast in color and taste will surely make you want to have this sauce available when you host a party.
WHY MAKE THIS?
Substitute for shrimp cocktail sauce. Want to be different and bring a completely new dipping sauce for the party you are hosting? This Vietnamese green dipping sauce pairs well with cocktail shrimp.
Quick and easy recipe. This can be made in under 10 minutes. Chop up the green bell peppers and green chilli peppers and blend until it’s smooth or has a little pulp. The most time-consuming part is juicing the limes.
WHAT IS MUOI OT XANH?
Muoi Ot xanh is a sauce that is used commonly to dip seafood and grilled meats. It originated from Vietnam and is a great sauce that can be easy made when fresh seafood is caught from the waters. Try my Vietnamese Chili Salt recipe if you want a dry dip that’s great for fruit.
WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE?
This recipe is a citrusy sweet flavor combined with the lime juice it adds a nice acidic kick to any foods you dip with. The green peppers are slightly bitter and grassy but the sugar and sweetened condensed milk adds a nice balance of sweetness to the sauce. Overall this sauce is a great pairing for and seafood from shrimp cocktail, grilled prawns, calamari, lobster or fish.
INGREDIENTS, SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS
Green chili peppers. For this recipe, I used green chili peppers. They are long and you can typical find them beside the thai chili peppers at Asian grocery store in the fresh produce section. If you want a bit of a kick substitute with Thai chili peppers to get the spiciness. Make sure to de-seed them so you don’t have the pepper seeds
Green bell pepper. The green bell peppers will give the sauce a bright green color.
Lime juice. Using freshly squeezed lime juice will give a stronger citrus flavor. However if you have ready to use lime juice you can use that instead. Read More…
