Cocktail sauce is a classic condiment, often paired with seafood like shrimp, oysters, and crab. A staple in American cuisine, it typically combines ketchup, prepared horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce for a tangy, spicy flavor. The origins of cocktail sauce can be traced to early 20th-century culinary trends, where bold, zesty sauces were popular accompaniments to chilled seafood dishes. Nutritionally, cocktail sauce is low in calories and fat, making it a lighter choice compared to richer dips like mayonnaise-based sauces. However, it can be high in added sugars due to the ketchup and sodium from Worcestershire sauce and other seasonings. Moderation is key for those monitoring sugar or salt intake. Packed with flavor from natural horseradish and citrus, cocktail sauce remains a vibrant and versatile addition to seafood platters worldwide.
