Classic Cocktail Sauce is a wonderful easy to make and very a delicious seafood sauce to serve with your next Shrimp Cocktail, Oysters On The Half Shell, or Grilled Oysters. I am picky about my Cocktail Sauce and the bottled stuff just does not cut it for me and my family. This recipe is perfect to serve with all fresh seafood. This sauce is slightly spicy with a definite tang. Adjust the horseradish and hot sauce to your heat level and taste to make your perfect Cocktail Sauce.
I absolutely adore Shrimp Cocktail with this sauce. Always a favorite, the classic shrimp cocktail is a quick and easy appetizer that can be put together at the last minute to serve your family or guests.
