1
Prepare the Shrimp
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the salt and the halved lemon. Once boiling, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
2
Ice Bath
Remove the shrimp from the boiling water and immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for about 5 minutes, then drain well.
3
Prepare the Cocktail Sauce
In a small bowl, mix the cocktail sauce with the wasabi horseradish to taste. Adjust the wasabi according to your heat preference.
4
Serve
Arrange the chilled shrimp on a platter and serve with the cocktail sauce on the side.
