We splurged on New Year’s Eve and had some fresh crab and shrimp. I mixed up a homemade cocktail sauce recipe for the shrimp, and mixed some with a fair bit of mayonnaise for the crab. The joy of making your own is that you can adjust the seasonings to make it as spicy or mild as you like.
Cocktail Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup or 1/2 cup ketchup and 1/2 cup chili sauce for a spicier version
- 1 Tbs lemon juice
- 1 Tbs horseradish sauce
- 1 Tbs minced onion
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 tsp dry mustard
- Tabasco sauce to tast
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Chill 30 minutes or so to blend the flavors.
The next day I made crab cakes with the leftover crab and mixed some mayonnaise with the last of the cocktail sauce to top the crab cakes. Delicious!
