Shrimp Cocktail with Homemade sauce


As many shrimp as you want, any size
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tbsp prepared horseradish
Dash of hot sauce
Pinch of salt & pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder

Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. In a pan, sear the shrimp on both sides until they turn pink (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from pan and allow to cool.
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, horseradish, salt, pepper, cayenne, and hot sauce until well blended. (You can adjust the "hot" seasonings to your taste.)
Place the cooled shrimp either on a platter or hung around a bowl with the dip in the center. Enjoy!

*I don't know many people who don't like shrimp cocktail. The traditional way to make it would be to boil the shrimp and then let them cool before digging in. But searing the shrimp gives them so much more flavor, and doesn't take long at all. For the sauce, I like my cocktail sauce spicy, but as I said, you can adjust the seasonings to however you and your guests like it. This is a great way to start off your Thanksgiving dinner, or any dinner for that matter!

For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men. Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God. 1 Peter 2:15-16
