Shrimp and Cocktail Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring the water, lemon juice, and salt to a boil. Once boiling, add the large shrimp and cook for about 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 immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Arrange the shrimp on a serving platter. Serve with a bowl of cocktail sauce in the center, lemon wedges on the side, and garnish with parsley.
