Cocktail Sauce For Shrimp
- 1 (12 oz.) bottle chili sauce, chilled
- 4 to 6 oz. ketchup (Heinz hot ketchup is great!)
- 1 jar cream-style horseradish, chilled
- 1 to 2 lemons, cut into wedges
- 1 to 2 stalks celery, minced
- 1 to 2 green onions, minced
- bay shrimp
- Make Sauce:
- Combine chili sauce, ketchup and horseradish to taste, at least 1 tablespoon.
- Keep adding horseradish until you get the right amount of "zip!"
- Add juice from about 1/6 lemon. Mix thoroughly and chill for several hours.
- Mince celery and green onion.
- Store separately in the refrigerator to crisp.
- When ready to serve, fill cocktail glasses or wine glasses with bay shrimp. (The amount of shrimp you will need will depend on the size of your serving glass.)
- Sprinkle shrimp with a little celery and green onion.
- Top with cocktail sauce.
- Add a squeeze of lemon and garnish with lemon wedge.
- Offer extra sauce at table.
- Omit celery and onion to use as a dip for large (peel and eat type) shrimp.
