What your friend had was probably Cocktail sauce. You can buy it at the supermarket in the seafood section. If not there (or you wanna make your own) you can try this recipe (or try Tartar Sauce for a different kick):

Sounds like cocktail sauce (the dish - shrimp + the sauce - is commonly called Shrimp Coctail). You may be able to find the sauce ready-made.
