Shrimp Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Shrimp Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add Old Bay seasoning to the boiling water. Once boiling, add the colossal shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.

  2. 2

    Ice Bath

    Immediately transfer the cooked shrimp to a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for about 5 minutes, then drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Arrange the chilled shrimp on a serving platter. Serve with cocktail sauce and aioli on the side. Garnish with lemon wedges.
