Shrimp with Dipping Sauce

[mrslee44]

I love shrimp and had been missing the cocktail sauce I used to slather all over the stuff prior to eating it, but ketchup has 4g per TBSP and tomatoe sauce has 3g per 1/4 cup.

I tried this last night and I think it is good and I can live with it.

Here is goes.

2lbs Bag of Frozen Cooked Peeled Shrimp(I get mine from Costco)
Let thaw out

Take a small can of tomatoe sauce
3 Packets of Splenda
Tbsp of vinegar
Big heaping tbsp of Horse Radish(No sugar added please)
Big heaping tbsp of Old Bay Seasoning

It was sorta thin, but delicious. I think I figured net carb count to be around 12 grams per the entire bowl, and this was more than the 2lbs of shrimp could handle.

I make cocktail sauce using LC ketchup.

Hi Kathy,

I would have prefered LC ketchup but didn't have any on hand. So the tomatoe sauce worked very well. I think I also read somewhere that adding vinegar and splenda to tomatoe sauce makes a LC ketchup or bar-b-q sauce.

I do know if one is pinching pennies, the tomatoe sauce works well since one can usually buy 3 cans for $1.00.

I was curious about how did the carb count compare from LC ketchup to tomatoe sauce?

Robin-I just saw this post and have some Heinz One Carb ketchup 1 tablespoon is 1 carb. There's 25 servings in a 14 oz bottle, so 25 1 tablespoon servings=25 carbs/14 oz. Hope this helps!
