What is in that tasty lt pink shrimp sauce found at Japanese steakhouses?

<p>I’ve tried googling and I’m getting an odd array of recipes…they all can’t be right.</p>

<p>Someone told me that the color comes from carrots, but I haven’t found a recipe with carrots in it.</p>

<p>I’ve found recipes with paprika or ketchup for color, but I’m not sure that’s right, either.</p>

<p>This looks an awful lot like “Salsa Rosada” which you might find prepared in a jar in the Latin Foods section of your supermarket.</p>

<p>That looks close. I will try that and see how it tastes.</p>

<p>I don’t know why someone told me that the recipe needs to have some kind of carrot or carrot juice in it.</p>

<p>I actually have some in the fridge from a restaurant that we went to on Sunday, so I’ll try this recipe and then taste test it in comparison.</p>
