I hope it came out. If you've already made it, you've probably figured out that you can adjust the tabasco, Lea & Perrins, etc. to fit your individual taste preference.
 
This seems like a recipe that is popular in the UK, often called Marie Rose sauce, or we have seen it as Mary Rose sauce.

Here is another recipe:

2 Tb Mayo
2 Tb Ketchup
2 Tb Double Cream
1 Tsp Worcestershire sauce, squeeze of lemon juice and a dash of Tabasco.

Actually prefer Miracle Whip to mayo for the recipe.

This is a great recipe for dipping shrimp.
