Steamed Flounder with Shrimp Sauce

An easy way to enhance simply prepared seafood is to use a sauce, butter or marinade. Delicious fish can be made even better by adding a basic, easy-to-prepare dressing. Butters and sauces also add eye appeal, particularly to steamed or poached fish. Remember that you want to bring out natural flavors, not disguise them. Avoid heavy sauces that cover up the true taste of the seafood. Mariner's Menu shares a recipe for Steamed Flounder with Shrimp Sauce.
