This is a twist on the classic sauce that has the origins from the early 1920's in the UK. Usually is made for a dipping sauce for seafood, typically shrimp and crab. We have updated this classic sauce to give it a little more kick and flavor.
The origins of the name are unclear and it is variously credited to a 1980s dive team cook working at the site of the Tudor ship, the Mary Rose, and Fanny Cradock. However, the term first appeared in the 1920s as a term for a garnish of shrimp, and was in use for cocktail sauce by at least 1963.
