Cocktail Sauce
Cocktail Sauce is most commonly associated with Shrimp, however, can be served with any seafood. This makes 2 servings of sauce served with 6 shrimp per person.

Shrimp:

We have served this appetizer many times, before dinner or as part of a nice lady’s lunch. To our surprise a sparkling wine or Prosecco did not work with the tangy taste of the Cocktail Sauce.
What did work best was a Riesling. If Riesling isn’t your thing, a Rose was the next best option. A chilled Chianti paired well when we have red wine lovers in the crowd.
We’ve paired:
• Belleruche Rose
• Mission Hill 5 Vineyards Rose
• Tantalus Old Vines Riesling 2012
• Fattoria dei Barbi Chianti Keyword Chili Sauce, Gin, Horseradish, Shrimp
