Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Cooking Liquid

In a large pot, combine water, lemon halves, bay leaves, Old Bay seasoning, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.

2

Cook the Shrimp

Once boiling, add the shrimp to the pot. Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque.

3

Prepare the Ice Bath

While the shrimp are cooking, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and cold water.

4

Shock the Shrimp

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked shrimp to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for about 5 minutes.

5

Drain and Serve

Once cooled, drain the shrimp from the ice bath. Serve chilled with cocktail sauce and lemon wedges.
