Classic Cocktail Sauce — American recipe
Classic Cocktail Sauce, photographed for the Kitchen Pantri cookbook.

Classic Cocktail Sauce

The bright, punchy red sauce for shrimp cocktail and oysters: ketchup sharpened with plenty of prepared horseradish, fresh lemon juice and zest, a dash of hot sauce and black pepper. Five minutes to stir together and far fresher-tasting than the jarred kind.
