Many people call it a “shrimp cocktail sauce”, but it’s actually great with any type of seafood. I served this on a raw bar for a New Year’s Eve celebration, along with oyster shooters, stone crab claws, and plenty of cooked shrimp and prawns, and it was a huge hit. Everyone loved it. It’s so much better than store bought. Make this sauce ahead of time to allow the flavors to mingle, especially the horseradish. If you’re throwing a party this year, give this recipe a go. Your friends and family will love you! Or hey, just enjoy it on your own. Date night, perhaps? Let’s about about how to make cocktail sauce, shall we?
Ketchup. Chili Sauce. Try my homemade chili sauce recipe. Lemon Juice. Clam Juice. Chili Powder. Fresh Garlic. Prepared Horseradish. You can use fresh minced horseradish. Hot Sauce. For a touch of heat. Cilantro. Salt and Black Pepper. To taste.
It will intensify in flavor the longer you let it sit. Also, you can easily vary up the ratios of these ingredients to your personal preference. The thing about cocktail sauces, and sauces in general, is taste, taste, taste! That’s it, my friends! I hope you enjoy my spicy shrimp cocktail sauce recipe. It ROCKS! Nice and zingy, just how we like it. Let me know if you make it. I’d love to hear! This post was updated on 11/15/19 to include new information, photos and a video.
