more about:

1/2 cup tomato ketchup
1/2 cup chili sauce
1/4 cup grated red onion (from about 1/4 medium onion; using the large holes on a box grater)
1/2 tsp. finely chopped fresh jalapeño
3 Tbs. prepared horseradish
1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice; more to taste
1/8 tsp. kosher salt; more to taste

Put all the ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. Chill, covered, until ready to use. This sauce is best made a day in advance and keeps well for up to a week. Just before serving, taste and add more lemon juice and salt as needed.

This sauce goes well with Garlic Roasted Shrimp Cocktail, Lemon Poached Shrimp Cocktail, and Warm Seared Shrimp Cocktail.

by mgssts63, 10/28/2009Very good! I add extra jalapeno, however. I've made several times and always get positive comments.

by LisM, 1/1/2012A big hit with our guests. I had no chili sauce on hand but substituted an onion & pepper relish that I bought in Bermuda. An EXCELLENT recipe.

by EZBAKE, 8/1/2009this is the best cocktail sauce I have ever made. I make this often because it is so tasty & easy. I often freeze it because it makes a lot. The only change that I made was instead of plain chili sauce I use this chinese chili garlic sauce ( 1/4 cup) and use 3/4 cup ketchup.
