- 1 cup high-quality tomato ketchup
- 3 tbsp prepared horseradish, drained of excess vinegar
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp Salted Perfection Lafayette Select Blend
Step by step
- Place a medium glass mixing bowl in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before starting; keeping the equipment cold prevents the delicate flavor compounds in the horseradish from breaking down during the mixing process.
- Combine the ketchup and the drained horseradish in the chilled bowl. Use a silicone spatula to fold them together gently, ensuring the horseradish is evenly distributed without incorporating too much air, which can cause the sauce to oxidize and lose its vibrant red color.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce to add a layer of fermented umami, which acts as a flavor bridge between the sweet tomato base and the pungent horseradish.
- Slowly whisk in the Salted Perfection Lafayette Select Blend. The smoked paprika and citrus elements in the blend require a few minutes to hydrate in the moisture of the ketchup, which will gradually deepen the flavor profile and add a sophisticated smoky undertone.
- Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This resting period is crucial for the dry spices in the blend to bloom and for the flavors to reach a state of equilibrium. DUNZO!

From Tony’s kitchen
This isn't your standard bottled sauce. By utilizing a cold-emulsion technique and a complex Cajun spice profile, we create a dip that doesn't just provide heat, but actually enhances the natural salinity of the shrimp. The focus here is on preserving the volatile aromatics of the horseradish while allowing the smoked paprika and citrus notes of the seasoning blend to fully hydrate.
