barb, I don't have a recipe but this product that I bought at a
local store sells this mango coconut pepper sauce that is amazing with shrimp. It is a little sweet and spicy. I linked to it at amazon so you can see it.

Yes, I vote for a remoulade sauce. Here's a link to a delicious Shrimp and Eggs Remoulade dish that I have made several times. This remoulade sauce is excellent, and if you make the whole dish as shown, it is so pretty.
Enjoy!

Are the shrimp going to be fried or boiled? If fried, I have a spicy Asian mix of peppers...
...green onions and sesame oil that is excellent. Might not be as good on boiled though.

Here's another delicious sauce for boiled shrimp, which I've also served many times. Since I live on the Gulf Coast, I eat a lot of shrimp.
2 cups mayonnaise
6 Tbl. ketchup
4 tsp. mustard
4 tsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. garlic powder
Whisk all the ingredients together.
Enjoy!

Thanks so much! I combined a few of the recipes, it was perfect. I have a really fun platter, so
it had pretty presentation. Unfortunately, the sauce was a lil to viscous to use the pipettes for, but it tasted great. I was so happy that I brought it. Our friends, which we don't see frequently, surprised all of their guests by telling us the party was for their wedding. They had a small informal wedding in Aug with immediate family. They are in the 60's and did not want presents. They just wanted everyone to celebrate their occasion! I felt blessed to be included.
Thanks much for the rec for the shrimp! We had a great evening!
