Barbecue SauceHere's a simple way to make barbeque sauce. I've never found a barbecue sauce recipe that tastes as good as my own.

The sauce you get in those expensive little jars is never enough, or worth the cost. Plus, they always have too much vinegar in it, that makes it taste too strong.

My BBQ Barbecue Sauce

1 onion grated
1/4 cup butter

Cook together till tender Then add:

1 cup catsup
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon mustard
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
Optional: garlic or smoke flavoring

Simmer altogether for 20 minutes Use right away or chill in the fridge. It lasts a long time.

Shrimp Sauce

Making shrimp sauce is so easy. All it is ketchup and horseradish, (the kind you find in the refrigerated section of the grocery store.) On the market they make Shrimp Sauce seem like it's made out of something special.

1/2 cup ketchup
2 teaspoons horseradish

Mix it together in a bowl and serve with your shrimp or seafood.
If you're making a holiday platter, just double the recipe.
If you like it stronger add a little more horseradish.
