Keto Cocktail Sauce Recipe
Description
Keto Cocktail Sauce Recipe combines half a cup of unsweetened ketchup mixed with a tablespoon of horseradish, half a teaspoon each of Worcestershire sauce and hot pepper sauce. Whisking these ingredients together results in a smooth sauce with a bright, tangy, and spicy profile. The horseradish adds pungency and heat characteristic of cocktail sauces, while the Worcestershire sauce brings a savory, umami depth. Hot pepper sauce enhances the overall spiciness.
This sauce is intended as a condiment for seafood, specifically poached or boiled shrimp, where its sharp and creamy flavors provide a piquant contrast to the mild shrimp. It is served chilled, making it refreshing and flavorful.
Adjust the horseradish amount depending on your tolerance and the brand’s potency to match preferred spiciness. It stores well in an airtight container refrigerated up to a week, and can be frozen in portions for longer storage. Stir well before serving to maintain consistency.
Ingredients
- ½ cup ketchup unsweetened
- 1 tablespoon horseradish see notes

Notes
- Adjust horseradish quantity to taste, as different brands vary in strength; start with one tablespoon and increase if desired.
- Storage in the refrigerator keeps the sauce fresh for up to one week; stir before serving to recombine ingredients.
- Freezing in ice cube trays allows easy portioning and preserves the sauce for up to three months.
- This recipe omits sweeteners but can accommodate sugar-free sweeteners if preferred for a sweeter profile.
