Whatever you call it, it is delicious! I found a recipe on Pinterest that claimed to be the real deal for the shrimp sauce that you find served at Hibachi type restaurants. I made it and it just didn't have the right taste. I made it several times and tweaked it until it was PERFECT!
I used an electric griddle to make shrimp, chicken, onions, zucchini, mushrooms and rice.
So simple and way more affordable than dining out!
Shrimp Sauce/Yum Yum Sauce
1-1/4 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise *
1/4 cup warm water
2
teaspoon tomato paste
2
tablespoon melted butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1
teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1
tsp sriracha (Korean garlic chili sauce)
1
tsp honey
1
tsp seasoned rice wine vinegar
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
Melt butter in a glass bowl, add warm water, sugar, honey and mix
to dissolve sugar. Add the rest of the ingredients – adding the
mayonnaise last. Using a fork or a whisk, blend all ingredients
together thoroughly until well mixed and the sauce is smooth. Refrigerate
overnight to allow flavors to blend. Bring to room temperature before
serving.
The sauce will NOT taste right if you don't let it sit overnight.

As everyone knows, I generally prefer Dukes mayo. However, in this
recipe, Hellmann’s comes the closest to replicating the taste of the
sauce. Hellmann's is called "Best Foods" west of the Rockie
Mountains. Use other mayos at your peril - many other brands make the sauce
taste too much like mayo.
