Even though the fried shrimp scene is kind of dismal here in Dallas there are several places that have a DIY "cocktail sauce bar". They provide ketchup, horseradish, L & P Worcestershire, lemons, a variety of bottled "hot sauces", and sweet relish and invite you to make your own poison. These places are an example: http://www.bigshucks.com/

Right on, Jim. Big Shucks is my "go to" fried seafood place in Dallas, too!

I'll have a bottle of Hoffman House Cocktail Sauce in my next checked bag to Phoenix with foodbme's name on it (No, not THAT Hoffman).

I believe I've had Hoffman House Cocktail Sauce before. I think you can find it out here. Those kind of sauces go well with fried fish and fried shrimp, but the Basic Ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice Worchestershire, Tabasco/Crystal hot sauce is THE BEST for Shrimp Cocktail.

"Who needs worchestershire, lemon, tabasco pepper or dry mustard?"
Those of us who like worchestershire, lemon, tabasco pepper and dry mustard in our sauce and are in the know about what constitutes a perfect cocktail sauce! Chili Sauce just wrecks the good cocktail sauce preferred by us sauce connoisseurs and purists.

The recipe JRPfeffadded looks awesome, maybe its the shrimp. However, folks, My recipe is simple-ketchup and lots of horseradish. Who needs worchestershire,lemon,tobasco pepper or dry mustard? And frankly-chili sauce is a wonderful ingredient.Just my opinion.

I never understood why so many recipes start with chili sauce?
It's simple and fast to make a cocktail sauce at home with ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worchestershire sauce, tabasco, white pepper, and dry mustard. All ingredients are measured to your taste and by your experience...
Cheers, John

I'm with you John. My recipe is about the same as yours but I never thought about adding dry mstard. I'll have to give that a try. Most times when I make it I use Crystal Sauce instead of Tobasco.

Looks wonderful! Needs finely minced celery for some body and taste...actually very similar to mine except for the wine and I use lemon juice. Now if I could only justiify the cost of U-15 or larger shrimp.

No comment on that lightning quick response time Buckshot ...

I just saw this online recipe for homemade cocktail sauce at JSOnline. I want to give this one a try.

Cocktail Sauce
Makes about 1 cup
¾ cup bottled chili sauce
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
3 tablespoons dry white wine, sherry or vermouth
1 ½ tablespoons prepared horseradish
¾ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon hot-pepper sauce
In a small bowl, mix together all ingredients. Chill until ready to serve.

Here's my recipe that I've used for years:
   Heinz chile sauce
   horseradish
   lemon juice

I don't measure, I mix the ingredients to taste.

Buckshot

Just a suggestion:
Add some Cyystal Sauce to give it a little kick. http://www.baumerfoods.com/contactInfo.php?null
Better, Milder and moreflavorful than Tobasco
A dash of Worchestershire sauce helps too!

I don't want "a little kick". I'm a wuss that doesn't have to have the unnecessary heat, I just don't like it!

Heinz ketchup
fresh horseradish
celery
onions
tobasco
worcestershire
lemons
garlic cloves
Old Bay
ground pepper
fine chop the horseradish, celery, onions, garlic, add the other ingredients to taste, squeezing the lemon in after you simmer this for 10 minutes, and let it cool in frig for a half hr. or so.
My recipe here...I go heavy on the horseradish, well heavier than most.
Add this to Tomato juice, great Bloody Mary mix!

I use cocktail sauce on all the seafood that I eat (although its not much) and I just throw together some horseradish and Heinz. I am going to try some of these recipes though if i'm not too lazy.

they probably use beaver brand xtra hot horseradish its made in portland and is the strongest commecial brand ther is.
they put something in it to up the kick its real intense head rush in a good way look in the produce section.
we can get it in tn at krogers some times its worth the hunt. i also grow my own the its like tear gas when you grind it.

I think the reason we so seldom find sauce Mignonette in American restaurants, especially the kind us Roadfooders frequent, is that it does not keep very well - that may be because of the shallots.
