Servings: 12 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup ketchup
- ½ cup chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1 tablespoon fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon Tabasco hot sauce
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients until well combined.
- Serve immediately with cooked shrimp, or for best flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least one hour.
Notes
- This is definitely a recipe where you can tweak things to your liking! If you like tangier sauce, use more lemon juice. If you want more “kick,” add a spicier hot sauce or more horseradish. And, of course, if you want a milder sauce all around, decrease those ingredients. (Don’t leave them out entirely, though. Each part of the sauce provides something it needs!!)
- Try adding fresh herbs, such as dill or parsley, or other ingredients, like diced cucumber or diced avocado. Add a spoonful of honey or brown sugar if you like a sweeter sauce.
