This classic shrimp cocktail sauce takes about five minutes and balances tomato, horseradish, citrus, and savory flavor. Adjust the heat to suit your table.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish (not horseradish cream sauce)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, optional
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce, optional
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, optional
Directions
- Stir the ketchup and horseradish together in a small bowl.
- Add lemon juice, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce to taste.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes so the flavors blend.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serve chilled with cooked shrimp and lemon wedges. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to one week. For a milder sauce, start with one tablespoon of horseradish; for more heat, add extra horseradish or hot sauce.
