Why not make your very own

5 tablespoons thick mayonnaise

1 tablespoon tomato ketchup

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon finely chopped onion

1 teaspoon finely chopped celery

OR

1/4 teaspoon celery salt

salt to taste

Easy really

Yours truly,

Cocktail sauce:

Horseradish

Ketchup

[pgrin]

I use wasabi paste and ketchup, available at Carre Foure and LOtus Big C. It takes a little experimenting to get it right, I like it hot,

Horseradish???? CRAZY Wasbi!!!! <deleted>

mayo first then tomatoe sauce until you get the right colour then Worcestershire then lemon

mayo 1 cup, tomatoe sauce 3 tablespoons, Worcestershire to taste [ a few drops], a dash of lemon.

Without lemon this sauce will keep for a long time in the fridge, with lemon only a couple of days

[geriatrickid]

Carrefour stocks it. Seen it.

However, the recipes above are more appetizing than the slosh in a jar.

Mayo in cocktail sauce sounds very unappealing unless u mean tartar sauce.

Horseradish or wasabi in cocktail sauce, I have never heard of that. it sounds horrible.

fresh grated horseradish maybe though!

[britmaveric]

Never heard of mayo sounds horrible too. However I'll give it a try, but horseradish makes it kick arse.

[madmitch]

2 styles not to be confused:

American style cocktail sauce, ketchup, horseradish maybe a dash or Worcestershire sauce and lemon.

English style mayo based 1000 island dressing style.

[britmaveric]

Hmmm I'm english, never heard of mayo style.

when you order a prawn cocktail in a brit restaurant what do you think is 90% of the pink sauce that covers the prawns?

its mayonaise with tomato ketchup and worchester sauce and paprika usually

I'm Aussie, never heard of it that way either, back home only heard of it as doggie style.

Kiwis, being different I believe call it sheep style. BYO gum boots.

But if you want the proper shrimp (notice there is a P in there) sauce as served in my restaurant " The Oyster Bar" in Cairns about 30 yrs. ago the real deal is ..............Mayo (Kraft), tomato sauce (Heinz), Worcestershire (Lea & Perrins), Tabasco and a bit of soy (Kikoman) to darken it and substitute for salt. The lemon juice is squeezed onto the shrimp / oysters / raw fish, at time of serving, do not include it into the sauce, it will self destruct on contact. Measures to suit your taste but try 5 - 1 - 1/2 + drops and dashes of the rest.

Good luck and if it causes your demise we'll try another recipe. Don't worry She'll be right mate

You'll find Americans make their cocktail sauce with horseraddish. I've seen it myself in the states. Actually, it's quite good.

To make a great European version:

Mayonaise

Ketchup

Lemon or lime juice

Worceter sauce

Good shot of cognac or Thai whiskey

Tabasco

Salt and Pepper

I am from the USA and what we call shrimp cocktail sauce is red as a dog's head. No mayonaise there

Dunno.. I actually thought hmmm, might need to try that.. They both would give it some kick even if a bit unusual.

Then again I dont like cocktail sauce much !!

[Thaibloke]

Well since iv'e been a qualified chef for 30 years, i know my recipe is the standard european traditional cocktail sauce.

It appears we are talking about 2 different sauces with the same name. Shrimp cocktail sauce in the US is made from ketchup and horseradish. Since wasabi is sometimes refered to as Japanese horsradish I make my US style coctail sauce in Phuket using wasabi as it is readily available. Use it sparingly and add more to taste. Dip a piece of bread in it and taste. If you have never tried it you might be surprised. It goes well on shimp and crab too. Also a fish fillet sand wedge with cocktail sauce is very tasty.
