Homemade Cocktail Sauce
This recipe makes enough cocktail sauce for a big shrimp platter or party apps. I always make my own since you can control the heat level and it tastes way better than the jar stuff.
Ingredients
Ingredients (~13 servings)
- 3/4 cup tomato ketchup
- 3/4 cup mild chili sauce I use Heinz
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1-4 Tbsp refrigerated prepared horseradish
- 1 1/2 Tbsp freshly-squeezed lemon juice plus more to taste
- Hot sauce to taste I use Tabasco
- Freshly-ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, stir together ketchup, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon horseradish, and lemon juice until combined.
- Add hot sauce and black pepper to taste.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional horseradish, lemon juice, hot sauce, or salt as needed.
- Serve chilled with seafood.
