Shrimp and Cocktail Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring the water, lemon halves, and Old Bay seasoning to a boil. Add the jumbo shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook.

  2. 2

    Chill the Shrimp

    Remove the shrimp from the pot and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for about 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry.

  3. 3

    Make the Cocktail Sauce

    In a bowl, combine ketchup, prepared horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the chilled shrimp on a platter and serve with the cocktail sauce on the side.
