This recipe was submitted by Megan Stemen from Dei Fratelli, makers of tomato sauces and juice, some of which are available in low sodium versions.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Dei Fratelli Tomato Juice
• 1 cup Bottled clam juice
• 1/2 cup Sherry wine vinegar
• 20 large Cilantro sprigs
• 2 Serrano chilies or jalapeño chilies, cut in half
• 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 can 14.5 oz Dei Fratelli Low Sodium Diced Tomatoes
• 2 pounds Uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined
• 2 Green onions, chopped
• 1 Tbsp Olive oil
• 2 Tbsp Chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tsp Fresh lime juice
• 1 tsp Sugar
• Lime wedges

Preparation:

Combine tomato juice, clam juice, vinegar, cilantro sprigs, chilies and Worcestershire sauce in medium saucepan.

Boil until sauce is slightly thickened and reduced to 1 2/3 cups, about 30 minutes. Strain into medium bowl.

Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and sauté until just cooked through, about 4 minutes, then cool.

Add rest of ingredients to sauce.

This can either be served in a single dish as a dip, or as we did and shown above, in individual dishes.

It was a hit! Enjoy.
