    I made this AMAZING tartar sauce and served it with simple grilled shrimp. Since I didn’t see the show where you made this, what do you serve this with?

      In the show I made this sauce to serve it on this burger Linda https://patijinich.com/habanero-shrimp-burger-with-habanero-tartar-sauce/
      But of course you can use it on top of any seafood or sandwich that you like 😉

    Hi Pati:

    As part of my 4C (COVID-COPING-CARING-COOKING) strategy, I try new recipes. This burger is awesome….
    I discovered one tip that I used. When preparing the patties, I sprayed olive-oil on my hands instead of warm water. Adds an extra taste to the burger. Otherwise, I followed your recipe to the “T”.
    BTW: I have also made your Triple – lime cake. Indeed, it does not last a full day in this house. Kudos and Blessings to you.

    I was wondering if you have ever used non-fat greek yogurt in place of mayo?

      Never Cheri, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. The consistency would be more like a Greek Tzatziki or a Persian Maast-o Khiar, but equally delicious. Enjoy!

    I noticed the habanero came from a jar with liquid. Do you pickle the habanero in something, or just keep them in water until ready for use?

      For this recipe I used store bought pickled habaneros Andrew, but you can pickle your own as well and they last for a long time!

    Can this be made with a less hotter pepper like a poblano or jalapeno ?
