Seafood Cocktail Sauce with shrimp. The shrimp were boiled with Old Bay Seasoning which accounts for the pinkishness and flecks of spices. Delicious.
Why pay for an expensive bottle of seafood cocktail sauce that takes up room in your refrigerator, when you can make your own as needed with ingredients you already have on hand? Inspired by this recipe from Kitchn. Makes ¾ cup, more than enough for a pound of shrimp.
Ingredients:
½ c ketchup
2 T horseradish*
1 t lemon juice
½ t Worcestershire sauce
½ t hot sauce (Tabasco or Crystal)
Method: mix all ingredient and serve cold with chilled seafood.
*Use a good refrigerated (not shelf-stable) brand that has a little kick to it. If you are lucky enough to have access to Atomic, the brand used in foodservice, reduce to 2 t, taste, and add more if needed.
