Description
Easy Cocktail Sauce is a tangy, spicy dip made with ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice, perfect for pairing with shrimp, seafood, or appetizers.
Ingredients
⅔ cup ketchup
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (or to taste)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Additions:
A few dashes of hot sauce (for extra spice)
Replace 2 tablespoons of ketchup with chili sauce (for a different flavor profile)
Instructions
- Combine ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl.
- Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve chilled with shrimp, seafood, or your favorite appetizer.
Notes
This cocktail sauce is ideal for making ahead, and it’s even better after the flavors have melded together.
If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can blend the ingredients in a food processor.
For an extra zing, add grated horseradish or a splash of vinegar.
