Make Seafood Sauce

Seafood sauce adds a tangy zip to shrimp, but other fish taste better with a less tangy sauce. Tartar sauce is usually served with most fried fish, and is equally easy to make at home.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 5-10 tsp of horseradish
  • Tabasco Sauce or cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Garnish (optional)
