Easy Cocktail Sauce
Description
This straightforward cocktail sauce combines the sweetness of ketchup with the pungent heat of prepared horseradish and the umami depth of Worcestershire sauce. Fresh lemon juice adds brightness, while salt and black pepper are adjusted to personal preference. After mixing all ingredients, letting it chill for about 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld, creating a sauce that complements shellfish or fried seafood.
The sauce's texture is smooth and slightly thick, suitable for dipping or as a topping. Optional additions, such as hot sauce or substituting chili sauce for ketchup, can customize the heat level or taste. The sauce keeps for up to one week refrigerated, making it convenient for meal prep or entertaining.
