This is a great, easy hors d’oeuvre that can be ready in minutes. The key is to buy pre-cooked, frozen shrimp. I always have some in the freezer – great for so many different recipes. Thaw under cold running water, or in the fridge. Cocktail sauce can be bought, but I’m not sure which, if any are gluten-free. Here’s a simple recipe:
1 cup ketchup
1 lemon, zest finely grated and juiced
4 teaspoons prepared horseradish, or to taste, drained
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Hot sauce, to taste
Combine the ketchup, lemon zest and juice, horseradish, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Add hot sauce, if desired. Mix well, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
Yield: 1 1/2 cups
To serve: put the cocktail sauce in a medium bowl and surround with the shrimp, or loop the shrimp over the edge of an individual cocktail glass and top with the sauce. Garnish with the lemon and serve.

From another gluten-free DIE HARD Sox fan (and daily consumer of shrimp), thank you for posting this recipe. –
