During the holidays this Dutch Shrimp Cocktail is a real standard within the family. To create the best possible shrimp cocktail, I made the whiskey sauce with some whipped cream. Because by adding some whipped cream, you will get a very airy sauce!
For this sauce I used an Irish Whiskey, since this whiskey is a little bit more smooth. However, you can also use a more smoked whiskey like, one of my favorites, Lagavulin Whiskey!

The Sauce
- Mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, whisky, sambal and lemon juice in a bowl. Use a fine grater to grate some lemon zest. You can also add that to the sauce.
- In the other bowl, whip the cream. When firm and fluffy, you can mix the cream with the rest of the sauce. To keep the sauce as airy as possible, gently fold the cream into the mayonaise/ketchup mixture.
