It clearly has horseradish in it for esteemed connoisseurs of shrimps and things like shrimp.

Like Worcestershire, it would probably just end up gathering dust with the other "I'll probably use this in cooking" sauces.

My wife is allergic to shellfish and tree nuts. Cashews and peanuts are fine. But living in a Gulf state, most of the local cuisine is off limits.

I thought I'd developed one but I went and got tested and didn't test as allergic to it but the last three times I ate shellfish I threw up and got horrible stomach cramps/diarrhea so I'm confused.

I really want to try it again but I also don't wanna throw up. One of these days I'll take the plunge and see if my body can handle it. I guess at least I won't die probably if I eat it but apparently my stomach doesn't agree with it any more

I could probably put away like 2 party platters.

Shrimp cocktail sauce is ketchup with horseradish and a dash of wooster. GIS "shrimp cocktail sauce" for fucks sake, it's not made of mayo

Like you can dip your shrimp in whatever you want but let's be clear on what shrimp cocktail sauce is

Tbf though I feel like there's even more of a difference between cocktail sauce made with non bought ketchup and store cocktail than there is between the respective component catsups, for sure reason.

Shrimp tacos are amazing and I'd rather eat my shrimp that way instead of in a cocktail.

This is a timely thread because just yesterday I fell down the Wikipedia rabbit hole and eventually landed on shrimp cocktail and this has been bothering me ever since:

Wikipedia posted:

According to the English food writer Nigel Slater, the prawn cocktail "has spent most of (its life) see-sawing from the height of fashion to the laughably passé" and is now often served with a degree of irony.

How do you serve food "ironically"?

No interest in cocktail sauce. Give me nude shrimps with Old Bay and I could definitely do a pound.

With a vibe of "haha isn't it so funny we're actually eating this," like when people make horrifying bananas and hot dogs in aspic from old cookbooks, but not as far along that line

American cocktail sauce is the superior condiment and is made from mild chili sauce with horseradish and lemon and maybe a lil vermouth and fresh ground pepper.

British cocktail, or Mary rose sauce is a loving creamy pink abortion.

I was putting together a big seafood raw bar grazing board thing for a yacht excursion and had "cocktail sauce" on the run sheet and served the American version because fresh tiger prawns and Mayo is stupid. People loved it.

What are you talking about, American cocktail sauce is ketchup and horseradish.
