Ingredients

½ cup ketchup
2 Tbs grated horseradish plus more to taste

Instructions

Add the ketchup and 1 tablespoon grated horseradish to a small bowl.
Stir until well mixed.
Taste and add more horseradish for extra heat.
Serve with shrimp, fish, crab cakes, fries, or hush puppies. Cover and refrigerate if making ahead.

Notes

I like a spicy sauce, so I use 2 tablespoons of horseradish or more.

Freshly grated horseradish is my first choice when it’s available.

Jarred ground or grated horseradish works well. Choose the grated root product rather than a creamy horseradish sauce.

Fresh root will add time to the prep.

If the sauce is too spicy, stir in more ketchup.
