Sounds tasty, but stick with plain old ketchup and horseradish and save the extra expense and trouble. This makes a quart of sauce which is enough for 200 shrimp as opposed to 16, so use about 1/8 of what's called for, if you want to try it. Taste is OK, I ended up adding a lot more horseradish and hot sauce to give it a kick. Also, too salty (from canned crushed tomatoes) and it's watery (doesn't stick to the shrimp). My advise is to pass.
