QUICK SEAFOOD COCKTAIL SAUCE



Quick Seafood Cocktail Sauce image

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Onion     Tomato     Quick & Easy     Horseradish     Summer     Tarragon     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 1 1/2 Cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons grated onion
3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Whisk all ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Cover and refrigerate sauce at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.

Tips:

  • Use fresh seafood. The fresher the seafood, the better the cocktail sauce will taste. If you can, buy seafood that was caught or harvested within the last 24 hours.
  • Chop the seafood into small pieces. This will make it easier to eat and will help the flavors of the sauce to penetrate the seafood.
  • Use a variety of seafood. Don't just use one type of seafood in your cocktail sauce. Try using a combination of shrimp, crab, lobster, and scallops. This will give the sauce a more complex flavor.
  • Use a good quality ketchup. The ketchup is the base of the cocktail sauce, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a ketchup that is made with real tomatoes and has a rich, tangy flavor.
  • Add some heat. If you like your cocktail sauce with a little bit of heat, add some cayenne pepper or hot sauce. You can also add some minced jalapeño peppers.
  • Let the flavors meld. After you've made the cocktail sauce, let it sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

Cocktail sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used with a variety of seafood dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. So next time you're having a seafood dinner, be sure to make a batch of cocktail sauce to go with it. You won't be disappointed!
