Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the jumbo shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook.

  2. 2

    Ice Bath

    Immediately transfer the cooked shrimp to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Drain and Season

    Remove the shrimp from the ice bath, drain well, and pat dry with paper towels. Toss the shrimp with the signature seasoning until evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the seasoned shrimp on a serving platter with lemon wedges and cocktail sauce on the side for dipping.
