Easy, Tasty Shrimp Cocktail Sauce

My husband and I have hosted a New Year's Eve party at our home for 16 years now.  This year, I realized at 5:00 pm that I'd neglected to worry about the cocktail sauce to go with the shrimp that were thawing in my fridge...whoops!  What's cocktail shrimp without the accompanying sauce?

Well, I did what any girl would do and searched Pinterest for a quick recipe.  I mean, really, what's in it but ketchup and horseradish, right?  I had both on hand, but wasn't sure of the ratios I should use.  Well, it was after about 5 long minutes of looking at cocktail sauce recipes (with more than just those 2 ingredients, mind you) that I decided to make my own!  It was delicious...so much so that I could have eaten it with a spoon! 

What you'll need:



1/2 cup ketchup

1 tbsp. hot sauce

1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp. onion

1 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. salt

3 tbsp. creamy horseradish sauce (I had a jar of this in my panty-hubby likes horseradish, so I had it on hand!)

Mix well and enjoy!

***tip-to keep my shrimp well chilled, I fill a glass bowl with ice and nest a smaller bowl, filled with the shrimp inside of the larger bowl***
