Cocktail Sauce

This is the red sauce that tastes great on shrimp. I originally started making this in college from the condements they put out in the cafeteria and added that to the recipe from the "Joy of Cooking," 1974 edition. Of course, I have been fooling with it for a few decades. Funny how this doesn't have that "whoosh" taste that horseradish often does.(If you want it spicy add some hot sauce or cayenne pepper.)
  • 1 cup ketchup 
  • 1 T parsley flakes
  • 1/2 tsp lemon pepper
  • 3 T prepared horseradish (not the mayonaissey kind)
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (juice of 1/2-1 lemon)
  • 2 tsp capers (optional)
 Just stir it all together and let it set an hour or more in the refrigerator.
