This Homemade Cocktail Sauce is the perfect condiment for your classic or grilled shrimp cocktail, with fresh ingredients, lots of zest, plus some heat. It's ready to serve in just a few minutes!

Ingredients

5 tablespoons good quality tomato paste about half of a 6 ounce can
1½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh ground horseradish - I use this brand found at our local Kowalski's market
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
⅛ teaspoon Tabasco sauce
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine all ingredients except the water. Add a tablespoon of water to thin it out a bit; add more if desired.
Serve immediately or store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Use as a dipping condiment for classic shrimp cocktail (as shown in this post, using extra large 26-30 count shrimp or larger) and grilled shrimp cocktail. Offer fresh lemon wedges to squeeze over the shrimp before dipping.
