Classic Cocktail Sauce

This has to be one of the easiest sauces to make. EVER!! I don't know why people think they need to buy it already made when you probably have all of the ingredients in your house already!! Stop the insanity!

Check out Episode #16 for a recipe for a fresh tomato cocktail sauce and how to poach shrimp for shrimp cocktail.

Difficulty Beginner
Time
Prep Time: 1 min
Servings 4
Ingredients
  • 1 cup Ketchup
  • 2 tbsp Horseradish, plus more to taste
  • 2 tsp Lemon Juice (from half a lemon), plus more to taste
  • 1 tbsp Worchestershire Sauce
  • 1 tsp Hot Sauce, plus more to taste
Instructions
  1. Mix ingredients well and add additional horseradish, hot sauce or lemon to taste
  2. Note: Sometimes cocktail sauce gels up and solidifies a bit in the fridge. Don't freak out! It is just something that has to do with how the ketchup interacts with the other ingredients and does not mean it is bad. Stir in a few drops of water and it will be good as new.
