here it is: tweezybird as posted to recipe boards

well tom we made it to st elmo's today and though we are $40 lighter in

the wallet i have the much sought after recipe. this is from the

bartender and he even gave us a nice amount to bring home.



he said the "secret" is having the freshest, hottest horseradish, grated

coarsely, soaked overnight in vinegar, strained and mixed with heinz

ketchup. that's it. and believe me it is hot, dh and i love anything

hot, we especially like wasabi and this stuff was set your tongue on

fire hot! the bartender told us that one time the horseradish they were

getting wasn't hot enough and they sent him to chicago to get some

there. as we were at the bar we watched them bring out a tub of

horseradish, grated, of about 30 pounds. they mix it right near the

front door and have a window that overlooks the street.



tom's version: shave the horseradish and place in a covered container

along with the vinegar. refrigerate overnight.

drain the horseradish.

mix two tablespoons of the horseradish with 2 cups of the chili sauce.

add two squirts of fresh lemon juice and four large squirts of fresh

lime juice.

place four cooked shrimp in each serving vessel surround with lemon

wedges and about 1/2 cup of the sauce for each serving.
