Conventional shrimp cocktail makes an easy appetizer for a dinner party - just mix up your cocktail sauce, arrange the shrimp and you're good to go, but the old standby cocktail sauce doesn't necessarily complement every meal. This is a Thai-inspired variation that has made a big hit each time I've served it, and it makes a nice prelude to any Asian-style entree.
Ingredients ~
1 lb cooked peeled and deveined shrimp
1/3 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon horseradish
1 tablespoon Thai chili sauce
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon sambal oelek
2 teaspoons chopped cilantro
Lime wedges
Preparation ~
Mix all ingredients, place sauce in a serving dish and chill for at least 20 minutes. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the shrimp and arrange on a serving plate. Serve with cocktail sauce.
