1
Cook the Shrimp
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add Old Bay seasoning and the juice of half a lemon. Add the jumbo shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook.
2
Chill the Shrimp
Remove the cooked shrimp from the pot and immediately place them in a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for about 5 minutes.
3
Drain and Serve
Drain the shrimp from the ice water, pat dry, and arrange them on a serving platter. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve with your favorite cocktail sauce.
