Posted: 4/5/2008 4:03:23 PM | I make mine the same way OP, and I love it. In fact, there is a food I have never eaten...store bought coc ktail sauce. I would be afraid to try it. I don't like to waste even a dollar LOL
I have only one question.....WHERE ARE THE GULF OYSTERS????????
Truly, no oyster on earth tastes as great as a raw Gulf of Mexico Oyster. Same with Texas Brown Shrimp. You will never taste a better shrimp and they are huge and easy to peel. I can tell you one thing, if you want to taste a good shrimp, never buy farmed or fresh water...those are nasty to me. | |

Posted: 4/5/2008 8:26:59 PM | I agree w/smiling! Of course, I can get the good shrimp here in Galveston so I am spoiled! I had never made****ail sauce or seen it made until I was at a social function in Michigan a year ago and they ran out of****ail sauce. They did the ketchup, garlic, worchestershire sauce thing and I have to admit I was really impressed! | |

Posted: 4/6/2008 9:04:23 AM | Along the same line regarding horseradish, I have a thing for that Zesty Sauce that comes with Burger Kings onion rings (I wish they sold it!). It's killer good on a roast beef sandwich. Here's how to make a good close version:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ketchup
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Mix and chill for an hour before using. | |
