My husband makes a terrific "Cocktail Sauce" that we use for boiled shrimp. The ingredient amounts are not written down, so will give you the amounts as best I can...please adjust for your taste.

Cocktail Sauce

1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/4 cup ground horseradish (more if you like 'heat', and we do)
Juice from one lemon
1 1/2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
Several drops Tabasco

Boiled Shrimp (Bertha's Way):
Large pot half-filled with water (depends on amount of shrimp to boil)
Juice from one lemon (add lemon halves that you juiced to pot as well)
One stalk celery with leaves, cut in pieces
One onion cut in quarters, peeling and all
Three or four bay leaves
3 Tbsp. liquid crab seasoning (or one bag of Old Bay seasoning)
Salt and black pepper
Few 'splashes' of Tabasco
3-5 pounds headed shrimp (peeling left on)

Add all but crab seasoning and boil about three minutes; add crab seasoning; add shrimp...bring to boil and boil three minutes. Remove from heat and drain...pour out on thick layers of newspaper to
cool. Serve with Cocktail Sauce and enjoy....
