Ingredients

1 large sweet onion, chopped
5 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
1 1/4 cups vodka, premium quality, will make a difference
2 cups heavy cream
4 tablespoons fresh basil, finely chopped
1 (5 1/2 ounce) can tomato paste

Steps:

Sauté onion, garlic, and olive oil in large sauce pot until translucent, do NOT overcook or brown.
Add 2 cans of crushed tomatoes, and vodka.
Cook about 1/2 hour or until all alcohol has burned off.
Add heavy cream and basil.
Add tomato paste to your discretion, although sauce should be of a thick consistency, some people like theirs thin.
Let sauté about 1/2 hour.
Serve with penne and freshly grated parmesan cheese.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the cocktail sauce will taste. This is especially true for the tomatoes, onions, and horseradish.
Taste the sauce as you go. Adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more horseradish for a spicier sauce, or more lemon juice for a tangier sauce.
Let the sauce chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the sauce with your favorite seafood dishes. Cocktail sauce is a classic accompaniment to shrimp, crab, and fish.

Conclusion:

Cocktail sauce is a versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of seafood dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and flavorful cocktail sauce that will elevate your next seafood meal.
