Make the cocktail sauce before serving by mixing together the ketchup and horseradish. Taste, and if you like more of a kick, add more horseradish to your taste. Serve with the shrimp, drawn butter, and lemon wedges.

Notes

*I like to use cream-style prepared horseradish. This is not a premade horseradish sauce, rather it is grated horseradish that comes in a glass jar. You can find it in the refrigerated section by the sour cream and other sauces, or by the fresh seafood section in your grocery store.
