Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Don’t go all over the store, trying to find chili puree! You’ll find it near the Asian ingredients in your supermarket. It may be called “Thai Style.” It is not the same as chili sauce, which is commonly used for making the sauce for shrimp cocktail.
