Ospidillo Cafe Shrimp Cocktail Sauce No 2 Recipes

ASIAN SHRIMP COCKTAIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Blend all ingredients and refrigerate for at least one hour prior to serving on the side with either cocktail or grilled shrimp.
• NOTE: this blend can also be used as a "mop sauce" for grilled shrimp on skewers.

STEAMED SHRIMP OR SHRIMP COCKTAIL

Steps:

• Pour all ingredients (except shrimp) into a large saucepan. Make sure to first squeeze the juice from the lemons into the mix and then throw the rinds right in there too.
• Bring the liquid to a rolling boil over high heat. Dump in the shrimp and cover the pan with a tight lid.
• After the shrimp have again begun to boil, allow them to go for two minutes, then, stir the shrimp briefly and replace the lid. Boil for three more minutes (shrimp should boil for five minutes, all total).
• Drain and place the shrimp into a large bowl of ice water if you want shrimp cocktail (or just serve them hot).
• If serving as shrimp cocktail, you can go ahead and peel the shrimp after they're cold, or, you can let your guests do it themselves at the table.
• Note: If you overcook shrimp, you will make them rubbery.

OSPIDILLO CAFE HOT DOG CHILI SAUCE NO. 13

Steps:

• Using about three cups of water in a small pan, boil the sausage for a few minutes until it is broken up. Drain, using a colander, and put the sausage and the 1 Tablespoon of Italian Seasoning into a food processor and pulse it until it is of a fine consistency.
• Combine all ingredients, including the sausage, into a large cooking pot on medium heat and bring to a boil. (If you can't find Dale's Steak Seasoning, use 2 teaspoons of soy and one additional teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce). Once it boils, reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer, covered, for two hours, stirring often.
• At the end of the 2 hours, remove the bay leaves and any pieces of garlic you can find, and serve over hot dogs or footers with mustard and finely diced onions.

OSPIDILLO CAFE CINCINNATI CHILI NO. 2

Steps:

• In a large cooking pot, over medium-high heat, break up the burger into the chicken stock.
• Add all the remaining ingredients except for the bell pepper and the kidney beans, bring to a boil, and then lower the heat to a simmer (slightly bubbling).
• Cover, and allow the chili to simmer for three hours, stirring often.
• At the end of three hours, remove the garlic clove and the bay leaves and drop in the red bell pepper (or, substitute a jalapena pepper if you prefer just a litle heat).
• Simmer for two more hours, again stirring often.
• At the end of the two hours, remove the whole pepper and add the drained/rinsed kidney beans. Simmer for one additional hour, covered, and continue frequent stirring.
• Tips: If you see a need to add just a little additional chicken stock along the way, go ahead and do so, remembering that you will be topping spaghetti and/or hot dogs with this chili. Also, this is a very old recipe (1922) and any "tweaking" will probably not serve to improve it. Finally, make sure that your spices are fresh -- I prefer ancho chili powder but any variety will do.
• Condiments for the spaghetti dish version include diced sweet onion, sharp cheddar cheese and Tabasco sauce. Servings are based on spaghetti, not hot dogs.
