Look no further: this is how to make the best cocktail sauce in the world
Seriously: is there a more delicious starter than fresh Dutch shrimp with cocktail sauce? Pretty retro, that’s true, and peeling the shrimp yourself is quite a job too – let’s just say it’s a real pain – but once you have the shrimp cocktail on your plate, it’s one hundred percent enjoyment. At least, if you serve it with homemade cocktail sauce, preferably the very, very best. Don’t worry: this is the recipe.
At a barbecue party, that bottle of sauce is always the very first thing to run out: the pink cocktail sauce. If you make it yourself, it’ll disappear even faster, guaranteed. Because we’re talking about cocktail sauce with shrimp now, but actually this sauce is delicious with pretty much everything except dessert. Roasted vegetables? A seriously good Angus beef burger from your grill? A piece of salmon? Fat juicy prawns? Absolutely, and be sure to generously drag slices of baguette through this sauce too — it’ll make you extra happy.
