SHRIMP COCKTAIL BAR: CLASSIC COCKTAIL SAUCE, AVOCADO CREMA, REMOULADE

Steps:

• For the remoulade: Stir together the mayonnaise, hot sauce, parsley, capers, chile powder, garlic, lemon juice and green onions in a bowl (or for a smoother remoulade, whizz in a food processor). Chill thoroughly before serving.
• For the classic cocktail sauce: Stir the ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire and some salt and pepper together in a bowl. Chill before serving.
• For the avocado crema: Put the yogurt, cilantro, avocados, lime juice and some salt in a food processor and mix until completely smooth. Gradually add the milk and keep blending until the desired consistency is reached. (You can add more or less milk as desired.)
• Arrange the shrimp on a large platter over ice, and serve with separate ramekins of the avocado crema, remoulade and classic cocktail sauce and lemon wedges to garnish.

SEAFOOD ESSENTIALS: CLASSIC COCKTAIL SAUCE

Steps:

• PREP/PREPARE
• You will need a mixing bowl to make it and a non-reactive jar to store it in.
• Storage Of Homemade Condiments, Spices, and Sauces Because homemade spices and condiments do not contain any preservatives, it is important to store them properly. Non-reactive (glass) containers with tight-fitting lids are a must. If I am making a dry spice, I love to use old spice bottles that I have run through the dishwasher. If I am doing homemade sauces, I love using Weck jars. They are all glass, come in all sizes and shapes, and have excellent leakproof lids. If you shop online, you can go to Amazon, and type in "Weck Jars" and you will find a ton of them. Dry spices should be kept in a cool space, away from sunlight (spice cabinet), and sauces, in most cases, should be stored in the fridge. If properly stored, this sauce should last 6 - 8 weeks.
• Ketchup Regular ketchups have a lot of sugar in them, so I would recommend one without it. If you would like to try your hand at making your own, check this one out: Okay, this may seem like a lot of time to spend on making ketchup; however, the time spent is well worth the flavor you get on the other side. Plus, since you're making it from scratch, you can vary the ingredients to suit the occasion. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/versatile-homemade-ketchup.html?r=3
