1
Prepare the Shrimp
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the halved lemon to the boiling water. Once boiling, add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.
2
Chill the Shrimp
Remove the shrimp from the pot and immediately place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.
3
Serve
Drain the shrimp and arrange them on a serving platter. Serve with cocktail sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
