Num-Num!
Some good ketchup, some minced onion and this:
Just about the perfect condiment for a simple meal centered around some nice shrimp.
(No, it’s not real wasabi–or not mostly–but it is good, and makes for just the right zing in a sauce for the shrimp. Next: garlic stir-fry using some of this “wasabi” sauce, shrimp and lots n lots of minced garlic!)

Oh, yeh! Those “Wasabi” peas are great stuff! Son&Heir and I can each go through a can of those things (apiece) in no time. Like candy. 
I do kind of wonder what the REAL stuff tastes like on its own, though.

I tried Gold’s Wasabi Sauce. Big mistake. They add sugar and about 20 other ingredients not one of which is wasabi.
The best cocktail sauce is what I make myself with horse-radish, lemon-juice, tomato sauce, and very finely ground red pepper.

Well, you’re certainly right about the contents of the so-called “wasabi” sauce you sampled, Bernie, but as an ingredient in a quick cocktail sauce, it’s better than just half good. That’s sometimes the problem with on-the-fly recipes though: going with whatever is on hand results in multiple compromises, but if the end result is decent, then it’s num-num time. The Beaver brand “Wasabi Horseradish” sauce does at least list “Grated horseradish and wasabi roots” at its primary (first listed) ingredient, which does redeem the ketchup a bit, IMO, even though it also loists about 20 other ingredients ranging from mustard seed down to some dyes and, lastly, ginger.

You can keep it, Lucy buys little wasabi pea looking things and pops them in her mouth while watching a movie. I gave them a try and decided to keep my tongue in tact for other more bland items.
