Gochujang Shrimp Cocktail

adapted from Food Network

Gochujang is a fermented red chili paste that has a savory, sweet, and spicy taste that is popular in Korean cooking.

I love shrimp cocktail but my husband would never order or request it. He will eat it if it is in front of him but it is not one of his favorites. This one however he said he would request again and even wanted to save the sauce to use on chicken. He said it was better than ketchup and that's saying something. He puts ketchup on everything.

Makes 2 servings with leftover sauce                                     1 WW point / Tbsp.

1/4 cup ketchup

1 Tbsp. Gochujang

1 1/2 tsp mayonnaise

1 tsp. rice vinegar

1/2 tsp. soy sauce
