My first post to this forum !
I use a small amount of Chinese Chilli Oil to add some oomph - this has much much less sugar than the sweet chilli sauce and is much hotter - with a nice taste.
As a prawn cocktail sauce, I whip some double cream and add pepper, Garlic powder and Gia sundried tomato puree.
Gia Sundried tomato puree is well worth buying - it is stocked by the likes of Sainsbury and Tesco and whilst it is expensive at around 99p per tube it has less than 0.5 gms carb per 100gms !
It is also great in my beanless chilli con carne made with mushrooms, aubergine, celery (to replace onion) and courgette plus loads of beef and chilli!
