1
Prepare the Poaching Liquid
In a large pot, combine the water, juice of the lemon, Old Bay seasoning, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
2
Poach the Shrimp
Once the liquid is boiling, reduce the heat to low. Add the jumbo shrimp to the pot and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
3
Cool and Serve
Remove the shrimp from the pot and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. After a few minutes, drain the shrimp and pat them dry. Serve chilled with cocktail sauce.
