COCKTAIL SAUCE
This slightly spicy horseradish-tomato concoction makes a one-note boiled shrimp sing like a tenor. The typical ingredients are mostly healthy except for the sugar load—usually in the form of high-fructose corn syrup. This recipe calls for reduced-sugar ketchup and all the usual suspects, including prepared horseradish. Don’t mess with grating fresh horseradish—believe it or not, it’s not as strong as the jarred stuff. Makes 1¼ cups (20 servings)
1 cup reduced-sugar ketchup, such as Heinz
¼ cup prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Frank’s RedHot Original
Whisk all the ingredients together in a medium bowl until well combined. Cover, and chill in the refrigerator until cold, about 1 hour. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
