6 cups water
1 tsp salt
1 bay leaf
4 slices fresh lemon (about ½ lemon)

1 medium beet (about 8 oz), roasted, peeled, and roughly chopped
2 tbsp fresh horseradish, grated

Ingredient note
Added sugar is limited on an anti-inflammatory diet. This recipe contains about 1.8 g of added sugar per serving, which is likely acceptable for many following the diet. If you prefer to always avoid honey, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp salt
2–3 tbsp water

For serving

lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
fresh parsley, roughly chopped, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Roast the beet: wrap the whole unpeeled beet tightly in foil and roast at 400°F (205°C) for 45–55 minutes, until a skewer slides through the center with no resistance. Unwrap, let cool enough to handle, then rub off the skin with a paper towel. Roughly chop and set aside.
2
Make the sauce: combine the roasted beet, grated horseradish, apple cider vinegar, ginger, honey, salt, and 2 tbsp water in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth, about 1 minute, scraping down the sides once. If the sauce is too thick to pour easily, add the remaining 1 tbsp water and blend again. Taste and adjust salt or vinegar. Transfer to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate until the shrimp are ready.
