In a large pot, combine the water, Old Bay seasoning, lemon halves, and salt. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.

Once the water is boiling, add the shrimp to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

3

Ice Bath

Remove the pot from heat and immediately transfer the shrimp to a bowl filled with ice water. Let them sit for about 5 minutes to stop the cooking process.

Serve
