Vegan Shrimp Cocktail (hearts Of Palm Magic!)

1 can (14 oz / 398 mL) whole hearts of palm (chilled, drained, and patted dry)

Optional: squeeze of lemon juice + pinch of salt

Optional: 1–2 teaspoons kelp granules or a splash of vegan fish sauce, for an ocean-y flavor

Optional: pinch of sweet or smoked paprika, for color

¼ cup ketchup

2 tablespoons prepared horseradish ((I go for 2 for some heat! Check that it’s vegan))

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

½ teaspoon Franks Red Hot, Tabasco, or similar hot sauce ((optional))

Pinch of salt

Prep the hearts of palm: Slice the hearts of palm in half lengthwise, or into quarters if they’re large.
Make the cocktail sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, hot sauce (if using), and a pinch of salt.
Assemble and serve: Arrange the sliced hearts of palm on a serving plate or in a classic cocktail glass. Serve with the cocktail sauce on the side for dipping. For bonus flavor, I like to squeeze a little lemon over the top and sprinkle with salt and a touch of paprika. Sometimes I add kelp granules if I want a sea-kissed vibe. Enjoy!
