1
Prepare the Shrimp
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the Old Bay seasoning and salt.
2
Cook the Shrimp
Once the water is boiling, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.
3
Drain and Chill
Remove the shrimp from the pot and drain them in a colander. Rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Allow to chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
4
Serve
Arrange the chilled shrimp on a platter with cocktail sauce in the center. Garnish with lemon wedges on the side.
