Raw Paleo Shrimp Cocktail Sauce

I love shrimp cocktail.  I wanted some today but didn't want to eat pre-made cocktail sauce.  I started looking up recipes and realized how easy it is to make.  Basically just catsup and horseradish for simple sauce.  That didn't sound great though and I didn't want to eat or use catsup.  I looked up some paleo recipes and they suggested just using tomato paste.  That also doesn't sound very tasty to me...Then it occurred to me to make it out of fresh tomatoes.

Two words - Awesome Sauce.

I blended two ripe tomatoes in the blender, then added about 3-4 tablespoons of natural horseradish sauce, juice from half a lemon, salt, and pepper.  It wasn't as thick as store bought sauce, but it worked fine for dipping shrimp and tasted GREAT.

I forgot to take the fancy "after picture" with the shrimp surrounding the sauce and looking all tasty, but I did take a shot of the ingredients.
