Welcome to The Sauce and Gravy Channel.
This is Johnny Mac, and we're going to dive
into a spicy Cajun style shrimp cocktail sauce.
Buckle up, my friends.
Let's go.
All right, here we go. Here we go.
And of course, anything with the word Cajun
in it automatically means what? of course, spicy.
So this is going to be a spicy shrimp cocktail sauce.
And its base is just like
the classic red cocktail sauce base.
So you're going to have the ketchup, you're going
to have the Worcestershire, you're going to have the
lemon, you're going to have the horseradish.
But we're going to start off here with the ketchup.
So we're using 3/4 cup or
189 ML of ketchup in this bad boy.
Throw it on in.
There are no specific requirements as to
what type of ketchup that you use.
You can use any ketchup that you like.
Whatever ketchup you have in the house,
that's what you probably want to use.
So it doesn't have to be organic, it can be
regular, it doesn't have to be any specific brand.
Just go ahead.
Whatever you have at home, throw it in.
And if you're interested in a classic red
cocktail sauce recipe, click that link on the
top right hand side of the page.
All right, so we've added
the ketchup, our wonderful base.
Now it's time to add a little
bit of wonderful spice to this sauce.
So this is going to make this
sauce super tasty, super spicy Cajun style.
So we're going to put in some chili sauce.
I'm using Sriracha chili sauce.
You can use any sort of chili sauce that you have.
This is just going to make it extra
super spicy in combination with that wonderful horseradish
that we're going to throw in shortly.
This just kicks it up a notch for sure.
So I'm putting in 1/4 cup
or 63 ML of the Sriracha chili sauce.
Now we're going to put in a
little bit of fresh ground horseradish.
This is a little bit spicier
than that prepared style horseradish.
This you'll find in the seafood
section typically of the grocery store.
It's a little bit hotter.
It's spicier.
This is what clears those sinuses for you, my friends.
This is what opens them up.
So this is the spice that really gets it going
and kicks it up a notch for this wonderful sauce.
So I'm throwing in one large tablespoon
of this horseradish into the sauce.
Now we're going to go ahead and
throw in two additional ingredients here.
Two additional ingredients that are above and
beyond the classic red sauce recipe.
We're going to put in a little bit of onion powder,
1/4 teaspoon of onion powder, and it goes.
And then we're also going to put
1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder as well.
All right, next up to bat the W sauce.
Just like the classic red sauce recipe, this is
going on in a little bit of Worcestershire sauce.
We're going to use one teaspoon
or just a couple of dashes. And it goes.
And of course, we're going to throw
in a little bit of Tabasco.
What would a Cajun style dish be Without Tabasco sauce?
Of course we're going to throw it in.
So we're going to throw in a couple of dashes
of Tabasco To kick it up a notch, along with
that Sriracha chili sauce, as well as that horseradish.
The combination of these three items is just going to blow
it up, my friends, is going to blow it up.
This is an absolutely spicy, delicious sauce.
And just like the classic red cocktail sauce recipe, we're
going to put in a little bit of lemon juice.
So go ahead and grab a lemon slice that bad boy.
And then go ahead and juice it
with this Cajun style cocktail sauce.
We're going to use a little bit less lemon juice.
So we're going to use 1/2 tablespoon.
Unlike the classic red cocktail sauce recipe,
which uses a full lemon, this one
uses just a little bit of lemon.
Therefore, this sauce is a little bit thicker.
It's more of a stick to your bones type of sauce.
And now it's time to add a little bit of
salt and pepper to taste, and that's pretty much it.
So that's just a few simple ingredients, A
couple of additions to the classic red cocktail
sauce recipe, and you have a wonderful spicy,
hot Cajun style shrimp cocktail sauce.
As you can see, this is a whole lot
thicker Than that red classic shrimp cocktail sauce.
That's again, because we used a whole
lot less of that lemon juice.
But this is a great sauce.
It sticks to those shrimp really well.
And again, this is a cold type sauce that you
serve over ice or room temperature, but preferably over ice,
along with a big platter of fantastic shrimp.
Well, thanks for watching.
I hope that you enjoyed the recipe.
