1
Clean the Shrimp
Rinse the U-6 shrimp under cold water to remove any debris. Remove the shells, if desired, leaving the tails intact for presentation.
2
Boil the Shrimp
Fill a large pot with water and add salt. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the water and add the lemon halves. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
3
Cook the Shrimp
Once the water is boiling, add the U-6 shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook.
4
Chill the Shrimp
Remove the shrimp from the pot and immediately place them in a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for 5-10 minutes.

5
Combine Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce.
6
Mix Thoroughly
Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Adjust seasoning to taste.

7
Plate the Shrimp
Arrange the chilled U-6 shrimp on a serving platter, tail side up for an attractive presentation.
8
Add Cocktail Sauce
Serve the shrimp with the cocktail sauce in a small bowl on the side for dipping.
