Stick some ketchup and shrimps in it. Mayo is shit but a good base for poor man's seafood sauce.

I swear you used to be able to buy it like this. Maybe the shrimp went off too fast if just served chilled.

What do you think seafood sauce is? Sure, you can buy it in a fancy little jar, but it's still 99% ketchup and mayo.

I’ve never heard of a cocktail sauce made with mayo—are you thinking of horseradish?

Literally the first link Google gave me for seafood sauce recipe

Ingredients

5 Tablespoons mayonnaise

5 Tablespoons Tomato ketchup tomato chutney

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

½ teaspoon Tabasco Sauce

1 teaspoon Horseradish Sauce (optional)

a squeeze of lemon or lime juice

I mean, you could take out the mayo and just eat horseradish. Depends where you live and how much you like spicy shit.

Go figure—I looked up two recipes before I commented, and neither one had mayo. I guess it must be optional.

It's possibly search engines doing the whole regional thing. 🤷

Yeah I think it is cultural but this should be illegal too. This is what I was doing in kindergarten when I was mixing all the sauces and I was thinking that it was exceptional. Mixing 5 end-products is not considered "recipe" in some parts of the world
