1
Prepare the Shrimp
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the sliced lemon and Old Bay seasoning to the boiling water.
2
Cook the Shrimp
Once the water is boiling, add the jumbo shrimp to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook.
3
Ice Bath
Immediately transfer the cooked shrimp to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for about 5 minutes, then drain.
4
Prepare Cocktail Sauce
In a mixing bowl, combine ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are blended.
5
Serve
Arrange the chilled shrimp on a platter and serve with the cocktail sauce on the side.
