Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the catsup, chili sauce, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
-
Chill: For the best flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the cocktail sauce to a sealed container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together, enhancing the taste of the sauce.
-
Serve: Once chilled, your cocktail sauce is ready to serve! It pairs perfectly with a variety of seafood, including shrimp, oysters, crab, and more. It also makes a delightful dipping sauce for appetizers like fried calamari or crab cakes.
Tips:
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the cocktail sauce.
- Adjust the amount of lemon juice according to your taste preferences. You can add more for a tangier flavor or reduce it slightly for a milder taste.
- Make a larger batch and store any leftover cocktail sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to a week.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve your homemade cocktail sauce alongside a seafood platter for a delightful appetizer or main course.
- Use it as a dipping sauce for fried or breaded seafood such as shrimp, calamari, or fish sticks.
- Spread it on sandwiches or sliders for a burst of flavor.
