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

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
