The Story
“Once you make your own cocktail sauce, you'll never go back to the bottle. Fresh horseradish makes all the difference.”
Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp prepared horseradish (or more to taste)
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp hot sauce
Instructions
1
Stir everything together in a bowl.
2
Taste and adjust — more horseradish for heat, more lemon for brightness.
3
Refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Serve with shrimp, oysters, or crab legs.
