Kittencal's Easy Shrimp Cocktail Sauce (Low-Fat) image

I made this often for my get togethers it is much fresher tasting than the store-bought, this needs to chill for a minumum of 4 hours, overnight is even better, I like to add in just a little fresh minced garlic to boost up the flavor, you may also add in some horseradish too --- all ingredients may be doubled :)
