Sweet Fire Shrimp

Yesterday I was making lunch for myself at The Little Brick House.  It was a Philly steak and mushroom salad thing.  Dressings are out at the moment so I decided to sweeten up some buffalo sauce.  I decided that I wanted it a little creamy so I added a bit of mayo to it and put it on my salad.  I was reminded of one of my all time favorite appetizers that involved shrimp and a bang bang sauce.  The decision was made that I needed to pick up some shrimp and try this again.  I did so this morning and the results were amazing.  I added an ingredient or two and wow, excellent stuff.  So I gave a little to the folks and Dave.  We put it on a little lettuce and without adding anything else created a spectacular salad.  And so we started talking and I think we are going to try a little something.  I didn't want to call it bang bang sauce because someone else already does that.  I came up with Sweet Fire Shrimp.  Think we can do a sandwich with it as well as a salad.  Also think we could take the sweet fire sauce and create a few other sandwiches. 

This is a fun part of the job.  I like to create dishes that people love.  The Ruby happens to be one of those sandwiches.  It is a great sandwich and I am not trying to boast or pat myself on the back.  I happen to love Reuben's and our Brick House version of a grilled Reuben is really good.  People love it.  I think people would love the Sweet Fire Shrimp.  We've got the ball rolling now.  Doing a little more testing on it tomorrow.  Mmmm, deliciously fun stuff.
