Spicy Horseradish Cocktail Sauce Snack

Ingredients

- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon chili sauce (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are measured and ready to use. Fresh lemon should be juiced carefully to avoid seeds in your sauce.

2. Combine Base Ingredients: Place 1 cup of ketchup into a medium saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Stir occasionally to gently heat without bringing it to a simmer.

3. Add Flavorings: Add 2 tablespoons of prepared horseradish, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce to the saucepan. Stir well to incorporate.

4. Season the Sauce: Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Stir the ingredients together, making sure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the sauce.

5. Add Heat (Optional): If a spicier sauce is desired, add 1/2 teaspoon each of hot sauce and chili sauce. Taste and adjust the heat according to your preference.

6. Simmer for Flavors: Allow the sauce to gently simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

7. Cool and Serve: Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. This sauce is perfect as a dip for shrimp cocktails or any other seafood snacks.
