I haven't seen it in the grocery store myself, just other types of chile sauces. I sold a few jars in my Etsy shop, but not enough to make it worth the hassle. So your best bet is just to ask the restaurant to sell it to you.Wandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-10450968611305787082016-01-07T20:27:01.777-08:002016-01-07T20:27:01.777-08:00hey I dont wanna go thru the hassle of making it, ...hey I dont wanna go thru the hassle of making it, where can I buy this?

But that version didn't have all the flavoring of this one. I've tried making it with less oil, but the oil is really needed for preservation or else the chili changes color.Wandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-9751411629353380762011-06-14T19:09:50.356-07:002011-06-14T19:09:50.356-07:00I think this sounds great!

I imagine I would have to process it in a hot water bath to preserve it, but my real question is whether it will affect the flavor considerably?Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483436750935045635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-40311422713713831762011-05-20T21:48:14.151-07:002011-05-20T21:48:14.151-07:00Tony,

And I do have a Cajun shrimp boil sauce that's not quite the same as Boiling Crab's, but is pretty tasty. I suggest you actually use the search bar or the recipe indexes, both of which would've have provided you the answers.Wandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-65924392058690685862011-05-12T12:36:24.620-07:002011-05-12T12:36:24.620-07:00Somebody mentioned boiling crab, this sauce really...Somebody mentioned boiling crab, this sauce really loooks like it.
