Cocktail sauce is the sort of thing that gets bought, used a bit, and then the bottle sits in the fridge for 3 months... I picked up some shrimp at BJ's, and since Alex absolutely loves chilled shrimp with cocktail sauce, I was gonna get some sauce at the store. I turned the bottle over and curiously glanced at the carbs. I let out a little yelp. 16 grams of carbs for 2 tablespoons!!! Holy crap! So we get home and he pulls up a recipe for some homemade sauce. We used reduced sugar ketchup. Aim for about 1-3g carbs per tablespoon.
1 c. low sugar ketchup
4 Tbsp. horseradish (not the creamy sauce, just the ground root)
dash of Worcestershire sauce (we used A1 in a pinch)
1 tsp. lemon juice or vinegar (optional), ours tasted fine without
Mix it all up and chill or serve immediately. Tastes just like the store bought stuff without all the corn syrup....
