So years ago I used to work at this upscale restaurant that sat on the edge of my hometown. A little place that sat on the river with outdoor dining on a nice multi level deck under wonderful sets of ferns, flowers, and even a grape arbor. We served items ranging from Angus beef, local fish, other seafood, and even pastas. One of my favorite items was a small appetizer called "Field and Stream". It was some grilled shrimp and sausages with a few different dipping sauces. My favorite of the sauces was the key lime mayo sauce. It has been years since I worked there and luckily I was a good friend with the owners and their daughter with whom I grew up. I was able to adapt this recipe into my own so that on one bored weekend I decided to whip this up.
Not much to this delicious dish. A couple ingredients that everyone probably already have in their fridge. Some white wine, fresh garlic, lime juice, and mayo and you have yourself a very refreshing and easy shrimp appetizer that can be put together for guests or even for game day. Below you will find two recipes. A quick one for the shrimp and another for they mayo dipping sauce. For this recipe I don't really use any measurements as they are eyeballing it and just pouring in. Please enjoy what I call Cheat River Shrimp.
Ingredients:
Shrimp
- 1/2 lb shrimp
- White wine
- Garlic
- Olive oil
- Black pepper
Toss shrimp already de-veined, de-shelled, etc., in bowl with some white wine, olive oil, couple cloves of chopped garlic, and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate over night.
Key lime Mayo
- Mayo
- Key limejuice

Mix above ingredients together based on taste until you have a delicious dipping sauce.
Grill your shrimp on top of a hot grill until pink and you have those grill marks. Serve with dipping sauce. That is it! Simple and delicious.
