How to Make Hot And Zesty Cocktail Sauce
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of ketchup and 2 tablespoons of your favorite hot sauce. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Taste and adjust the hot sauce to your preferred level of spiciness. Add more for extra heat, or less for a milder flavor.
- Finely dice 1/4 cup celery rib.
- Zest one lemon using a microplane or fine grater, aiming for about 1 teaspoon of zest.
- Juice the lemon, yielding approximately 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
- Add the diced celery, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the ketchup and hot sauce mixture. Stir gently to combine.
- For serving: Steam 1 pound of shrimp until pink and cooked through (approximately 3-5 minutes).
- Serve the cocktail sauce alongside the steamed shrimp for dipping. Alternatively, gently toss the cooked shrimp in the sauce for a more immersive flavor experience.
