This pink-tinged sauce blends mayonnaise, tomato paste, and a touch of butter flavoring into a smooth, tangy condiment perfect for drizzling over fried rice, grilled chicken, or shrimp. It comes together in minutes with pantry staples and tastes best after a short chill to let the flavors meld.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, water, tomato paste, and melted butter until smooth and evenly colored.

  2. Add the sugar, rice vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, and salt, whisking until fully combined and no streaks remain.

  3. Cover and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.

  4. Stir the sauce once more and adjust seasoning with extra salt or cayenne to taste before serving.
