Shrimp Cocktail Sauce

A quick homemade substitute for store bought Shrimp Sauce. One of my first jobs in the restaurant business was working in the Commissary for the Burger Pits & Burger Bars in the Bay Area, California. This is close to their recipe, except I omit the horseradish and I add hot sauce, fresh onions, fresh garlic, Balsamic vinegar and Cajun Spice (Cajun Spice Blend) to kick it up a notch as Emeril would say, where they would use powdered veggies. For a wimpy & milder sauce, omit the hot sauce and Cajun Spice.
