Tartar Sauce

"Tartar sauce is one of those things that’s just plain better when homemade. Once you make it yourself, you may never go back to the jarred version. This homemade tartar sauce is salty, creamy and just the right amount of tangy—everything you want in a condiment to serve with crispy fish or fries. With just a few ingredients, this recipe can be whipped up in minutes whenever you want a tartar sauce that tastes fresh and feels effortless."  Comment from Taste of Home

This recipe is almost the same as how I make tartar sauce.  I don't use onion.  I love tartar sauce so much that I sometimes use it instead of mayonnaise when I make cheeseburgers or even a ham sandwich.

Blend of the Bayou

"This version of the creamy seafood bake calls for precooked shrimp and canned crabmeat, making it easy to prepare no matter where you live. Among all the types of shrimp available, white or brown Gulf shrimp work best at capturing the regional flavors of this juicy shrimp recipe. Blue crab comes from similar warm waters, and is often the source of sweet, tender crabmeat sold in cans."  Comment from Taste of Home

If it has shrimp and crabmeat, I want to try it!
