The shrimp coctail was a common starter or hor’doeuvre in Sweden during the 1970s. The original recipe is salad, shrimps from Iceland and Marie Rose sauce (tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and pepper). My mum used to make a Rhode Island sauce, which was invented by well known Swedish chef Tore Wretman. So do I. The recipe can be doubled.
