Thai Seafood Sauce (Nam Chim)

Ingredients

• 6-8 Thai chili peppers, minced
• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ tsp sugar
• 2 tbs Thai fish sauce
• 2 scallions, minced
• Juice of 2-3 limes (3-4 tbs)

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Some limes are very tart and require additional sugar. However, add sugar very carefully, as fixing a sauce that is too sweet can be tricky
2. Use this sauce for dipping boiled or steamed crab, lobster, shrimp, clams, or mussels
