Low-Carb Shrimp Cocktail with Horseradish

Shrimp Cocktail is such a classic appetizer at parties, especially around the holidays.

Typically though the sauce is full of sugar, not with this keto-friendly version though! All you need is a few simple ingredients to make a delicious cocktail sauce from scratch. You can use any sugar-free ketchup or even make your own keto ketchup in less than 15 minutes.

This shrimp cocktail is tangy and a bit spicy from the addition of horseradish. Instead of Tabasco you can use the leftover juice from our Fermented Sriracha Sauce - it's delicious and not as hot as Tabasco.

Step-by-step

1. In a small serving bowl mix together all ingredients except shrimp.

   

2. Arrange the cooked shrimp on a serving platter with the cocktail sauce in the middles.

   

3. Serve with lemon wedges. The sauce can be stored in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to a week.
