Japanese Steakhouse-Style Golden Shrimp Sauce

Here is a recipe I found that very closely matches Japanese restaurant
shrimp sauce.  However, I would also add a couple tablespoons of dehydrated
shrimp to add extra flavor.

Japanese Steakhouse-Style Golden Shrimp Sauce

Makes about 1-1/4 cups

I've reduced this recipe from the institutional quantities posted and
re-posted on several message boards. The original poster claims the recipe
comes pretty close to the "secret sauce" served with shrimp at many Japanese
steakhouses. As you can see, except for the inclusion of rice vinegar, the
recipe is not in the least "Japanese."

1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons melted butter
3/4 teaspoon paprika
3/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Mix all ingredients together. Chill 24 hours before serving so flavors can
meld
