Shrimp with Homemade Cocktail Sauce

Omgomgomgomgomg, wow do I love shrimp. My parents say I used to eat it all the time when I was a toddler. I love it anyway it is prepared- sooo good!

My mom brought home some steamed already cooked shrimp over the weekend. So obviously I wanted to make shrimp cocktail. The problem: we had absolutely NO cocktail sauce. Cocktail sauce usually consists of ketchup and horseradish. We had the ketchup but of course, we did not have any horseradish. So, building off of that, we decided to put a spin on the regular cocktail sauce and come up with our own. 

Our own cocktail sauce creation:
  • Ketchup
  • Sriracha Hot Sauce
  • Minced garlic
We didn't put an exact amount of either of the ingredients. We just added them to taste. I am positive that I put almost double the amount of Sriracha compared to the ketchup and garlic, but only because I absolutely LOVE sriracha. 

Anytime you find yourself needing some cocktail sauce but don't have horseradish OR you are just tired of the original cocktail sauce, I highly recommend trying out this combination shown above. It was great and totally hit the spot!
