Prepare the Shrimp
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the halved lemon and salt to the water. Once boiling, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and drain.
2
Prepare the Cocktail Sauce
In a bowl, combine ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and hot sauce (if using). Mix well until smooth.
3
Serve
Chill the cooked shrimp in ice water for a few minutes. Serve the shrimp chilled with the cocktail sauce on the side.
