1
Prepare the Shrimp
In a large pot, combine water, lemon slices, Old Bay seasoning, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Cook the Shrimp
Once the water is boiling, add the shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
3
Chill the Shrimp
Remove the shrimp from the pot and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.

Serve
Drain the shrimp from the ice water and arrange them on a serving platter. Serve with cocktail sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
