Pale orange and tangy, this is the classic sauce to serve with cooked prawns, either plain boiled ones or those gorgeous deep-fried Dublin Bay Scampi. It’s mainly mayonnaise, a little ketchup, and some Tabasco. If it looks familiar to Americans, that’s because you already have a very similar sauce that goes under the name of Thousand Island Dressing. An important note: in Ireland, it’s not “Muh-REE Rose Sauce.” It’s “MARR-ee Rose Sauce.”
