★★★★★
Cocktail sauce is a cool or room temperature sauce that is made to enhance the flavors of seafood, most particularly shrimp. It is made of a tomato base and seasoned with horseradish and citrus. his 5-minute recipe for zippy, zesty seafood sauce requires only a handful of ingredients and is easily adjustable to your liking. You’ll never buy jarred cocktail sauce again!
From the Kitchen of Chef Pietro & Chef Draghi
Ingredients
1 teapoon Horseradish, to taste (Atomic is the best)
1 teaspoon lemon juice, to taste
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, to taste (Tapatio or Tabasco)
1/2 cup Ketchup (I love Heinz)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce (optional)
1 clove crushed garlic (optional)
Directions
In a small container, add all the ingredients and stir well. Remember, the amount of spice depends on the type and amount of heat and bite you want. There’s no magic formula…just make it as you’d like to eat it.
Some people like to add Worcestershire sauce and garlic to add a more “store bought” flavor. That choice is up to you!
Notes & Comments
Kept it in an airtight container, in a refrigerator, this sauce will stay fresh for up to 6 months. You can also freeze cocktail sauce for at least 6-12 months.
