Stir in the coconut aminos, garlic powder, paprika, and salt until well blended.
Optional: For a little heat, add the gluten-free, citrus-free hot sauce of your choice. Adjust the quantity based on your spice preference.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary (add a pinch more salt, vinegar, or horseradish to suit your palate).
Transfer the cocktail sauce to a serving bowl or jar. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, though it can be served immediately if you're short on time.
Serve chilled with shrimp, oysters, or as a dipping sauce for your favorite dishes.
