    I made the sauce for a similar shrimp appetizer (i.e. I didn't use this shrimp marinade recipe. But the sauce - divine! I did not blanch the almonds, it wasn't needed although probably the flavors would balance more delicately if I had. I doubled the sambal. This sauce would certainly make a great dip for chicken, beef or vegetables.
