Food & Cooking Recipes Spicy Cocktail Sauce Close Credit: Chris Simpson Total Time: 5 mins Yield: 1 cup This easy homemade cocktail sauce is best made with fresh horseradish root. If you can't find it, substitute an equal amount of drained prepared horseradish. And be sure to try the spicy sauce with our Popcorn Shrimp. Directions In a bowl, stir together first four ingredients; season generously with salt and pepper. Stir in more horseradish, a little at a time, to taste. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 week.
