Wow! What a great flavour! I used 2 tblspns of horseradish and added a zested clove of garlic. No need to ever buy storbought again, this was way too good and very economical to boot!

This is the same cocktail sauce my mother used to make and I've been making it for well over 45 years. The only difference is that I begin with Chili Sauce instead of catsup. If you haven't tried it that way, please do. I think it will make this excellent recipe even better.

This is a wonderful cocktail sauce, and so easy to make. It's best made a little ahead. We've had it with shrimp and with crabcakes. DH even made it all by himself once!!! Thanks, Darlene.

very easy to make and delicious - I didn't have lemon juice so I used lime juice instead. Tastes just like the kind you buy, but much nicer to make your own, knowing what goes into it!

great recipe!! I used 1 1/2 TBLS horseradish and found it had just the right bite. And all the ingedients were staples I already had on the shelf so you can make it on a moments notice. I always keep a bag of frozen cooked shrimp in the freezer and this was perfect with it.

This was so easy to throw together and tasted so much better than store bought jarred sauce! I added a little extra horseradish because we like a little extra kick. Everyone raved about this sauce during dinner. Thanks!

I made this for Christmas Eve. All my family thought this was the best ever. I have added this to my recipe file and I don't think I will ever buy ready made again. So easy to make.

This is really good! It reminds me of the sauce that was used in those premade shrimp cocktails in the seventies and eighties. You can add me to the list of those who will never use storebought again! Thanks for the recipe!

Bethany, know the ones you mean! I think they are called Sausea shrimp cocktails. I use to eat 'em all the time. Well, made this sauce about 5 times now..guess I should review it. Umm.. Love it! I got for the full 2 Tbl of Horsie..and I'm a little heavy in my pouring of the lemon juice and worcestershire sauce - just my old taste buds. Great sauce! Eating it even as I type! I buy bags and bags of the little frozen shrimp (prawns over here..)..make loads of sauce..mix it up, stick it in the fridge and nibble about a pound at the time! Wonderful!
