Instructions: In a small bowl, mix wasabi powder with water until smooth. In a food processor or blender, whirl mayonnaise, lemon juice, 2 chopped mint, and three-fourths of the wasabi mixture until smooth. Taste, and add salt and more of the wasabi mixture if desired; save remaining for other uses.

Scrape into a bowl and garnish with a fresh mint sprig, rinsed. Serve with shrimp to dip into sauce.

This recipe yields 12 to 14 appetizer servings.

Comments: Look for wasabi powder in the spice or Asian section of your supermarket or in an Asian grocery store. If making wasabi mayo up to 1 day ahead, cover and chill.
