SHRIMP COCKTAIL DIPPING SAUCE



Shrimp Cocktail Dipping Sauce image

This is a little different from the traditional shrimp cocktail sauce. You may add more lemon if you prefer, more/less curry, and more/less Tobasco sauce as you please. I hope you enjoy this. This is pretty much a "dump" recipe & then blend all ingredients together. The recipe makes a bunch, about 5 cups or so, so i divide recipe into small containers & freeze if we're not entertaining a large group. It does keep well in the frige. Do not use Miracle whip in this recipe.
