- 0.75 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

While the shrimp are roasting, prepare the cocktail sauce. In a small mixing bowl, combine ketchup, horseradish, fresh lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce (if using). Stir until well blended. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
