INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup mild honey
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons hot sauce, such as Tabasco
  • 4 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons minced peeled ginger
  • 1 teaspoon salt

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Stir together all sauce ingredients in a 2- to 2 1/2-quart heavy saucepan and briskly simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced to about 1 1/4 cups, 25 to 30 minutes. (Stir frequently toward end of cooking to prevent sticking.)

COOKS' NOTES:

  • Sauce can be made 3 days ahead and refrigerated once cooled. Reheat before proceeding.
  • If making the shrimp and the corn, double the recipe for the sauce and cook it until it is reduced to 2 1/2 cups.
