1
Boil the Shrimp
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the salt and lemon slices. Once boiling, add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
2
Chill the Shrimp
Remove the pot from heat and drain the shrimp. Transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for about 5 minutes, then drain again.

3
Combine Ingredients
In a medium bowl, mix together the ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Adjust the hot sauce to your preferred spice level.

4
Plate the Shrimp
Arrange the chilled shrimp on a serving platter. Serve with the cocktail sauce on the side for dipping.
