Shrimp Cocktail PT40M https://img1.recipesrun.com/201907/2019/0827/fa/e/653234/300x200x90.jpg However old-fashioned it may seem, shrimp cocktail is a classic. We've updated this party standby with a zesty homemade sauce that packs a flavorful punch thanks to acidic ketchup, spicy chili sauce, and salty Worcestershire sauce. The small amount of celery salt ties it all together into a perfect condiment. The shrimp is seasoned twice here: once in the shrimp boil and a second time when it hits the sauce right before you bite into it. One taste and you'll know: this old-timer isn't going away anytime soon. 8 servings Ingredients: 1/4 tsp. Celery salt 2 tbsp. Hot sauce 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 1 tbsp. Horseradish 2 tbsp. Fresh lemon juice 1 tsp. Lemon zest 1/2 cup Ketchup 1/2 cup Mild chili sauce 2 Lemons, divided 1 tbsp. Small bunch parsley, divided 1/2 Small onion, peeled and halved 2 tbsp. Granulated sugar 2 tbsp.
