How to Make New England Seafood Cocktail Sauce

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons horseradish (prepared), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon hot sauce (or more, to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more hot sauce for extra heat, lemon juice for brightness, or Worcestershire sauce for depth of flavor.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. This step is crucial for the best taste!
  4. Before serving, cut the remaining half lemon into wedges.
  5. Serve chilled cocktail sauce with your favorite seafood, such as shrimp, calamari, lobster, or crab. Squeeze fresh lemon wedges over the seafood just before serving for extra zest.
