My son Dave has always been a whiz
in the kitchen; he makes the best cocktail sauce I have ever
tasted.
When I asked for his recipe, he gave me the list of ingredients
but had no idea of the proportions because he never
measures,
he just tastes as he mixes until he's satisfied.
After much testing in my kitchen I managed to make this delicious
mixture.
I always have frozen shrimp in my
freezer to serve this easy shrimp on ice party hors d'oeuvre with this excellent
dip,
it is a great cocktail appetizer for unexpected guests...
just put
shrimp on a bed of crushed ice .... who doesn't
like shrimp with a zesty cocktail dip ....what could be easier!
