Cocktail Sauce - Cocktail Sauce Recipe - Seafood Cocktail Sauce - How to Make Cocktail Sauce

Need to make cocktail sauce to eat with shrimp cocktail, fried scallops, fried shrimp, or imitation crab meat?  Read on for this simple cocktail sauce recipe and learn how to make cocktail sauce the easy way.

Seafood Cocktail Sauce:

The traditional way to make cocktail sauce is to use plain tomato ketchup and horseradish.  Squirt as much ketchup into a container (about the amount of sauce you need to make).  Add a little horseradish (the kind in the jar) at a time and keep mixing it.  Keep adding the horseradish until it tastes the way you want it to - the more horseradish you add, the hotter it will get.  If it gets too hot, add more ketchup.  Basically, you just balance the two ingredients until you are happy with the taste and potency.

You can also make a cocktail sauce out of ketchup and hot pepper sauce (the kind in the bottle that you would use for hot wings).  Just pour ketchup into a container (again, the amount of sauce you would like to make).  Add a couple drops of hot sauce to make it hot.  I've made this before when I was out of horseradish and it tastes almost exactly the same as the traditional recipe.

Some people also add hot pepper flakes to their cocktail sauce to make it even hotter, but this is not the way it is traditionally made.  You can use the cocktail sauce to dip imitation crab meat in, shrimp cocktail, or any fried seafood including fish.  Now you know how to make cocktail sauce - easy, isn't it?
