In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, horseradish, and ketchup. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, granulated sugar, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and garlic powder to the mayonnaise mixture.
Whisk the ingredients together until the sauce is creamy and thoroughly blended.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings if needed. Add a pinch of extra cayenne for more heat or a touch more sugar for sweetness.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the sauce to an airtight container.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. Overnight refrigeration is even better for optimal flavor.
Serve the shrimp sauce chilled as a dip for shrimp or other seafood, or use it as a versatile condiment.
