From the first bite, we knew Native Texan salsas were a pretty incredible creation, but even then we were surprised at their popularity. (It’s a toss up between Habanero and Tex-Mex flavors for most popular.) Now, hot on the heels of its newfound salsa following, Native Texan crafted newBar-B-Que Sauces, just hitting our shelves. With the bold statements “Born in Texas, Never Leavin’ Texas” and “The Real Deal” on the label, they’re All-Natural, gluten free and made with fresh vegetables.  In addition to a fast flavor booster, brushing on a good quality BBQ sauce gives food an extra-appealing color and sheen. Just be sure to sauce closer to the end of the cooking time since the sugars will burn if left on a fire for too long. The new sauces debut in Spicy Habanero & Lime, Smoky Mesquite and the 1836 Original.

There are countless ways to zing up your fave recipes, but here are just a few ideas made with some of this week's specials:

Split and ready to grill,  our Grill-Cut (8/12 ct) Shrimp, brush on the Native Texan Spicy Habanero & Lime BBQ sauce to sear it onto the shrimp. Brush again after cooking and serve over Spanish-style rice.

You want some baby back ribs? Grill them with Native Texan's new Smoky Mesquite. Remember, get ribs to room temp before putting them on the grill and don't put them directly over high heat. Mop on the sauce in the last 30 minutes of cooking!

Not grillin'? These slow-cooker pulled pork sandwiches are great with the new all-natural 1836 Original. Add a scoop of cool cole slaw to the sandwiches just before serving!
