This is an excellent cocktail sauce recipe. I used 8 tablespoons of chili sauce along with the other ingredients. It had the perfect tangy "bite" that I love in seafood sauce. I didn't actually make shrimp cocktails but served this as a dipping sauce with Garlic Shrimp #29828. This one is a keeper! Thanks Stella Mae.

There I am sitting in front of the computer, one of my favorite spots in the house. When I'm not at the computer, I enjoy cooking and entertaining.
See my icon? It is an old Royal typewriter. My father had one just like it that he gave me when I was in college. It had one key that stuck, but I typed all my term papers on that old thing. Whenever I see that icon I remember those happy days.
