1
Prepare the Shrimp
In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon into the water, then add the lemon halves, Old Bay seasoning, and salt.
2
Cook the Shrimp
Once the water is boiling, add the colossal shrimp. Boil the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook.
3
Ice Bath
Immediately transfer the cooked shrimp to an ice bath (a bowl filled with ice water) to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for about 5-7 minutes.
4
Make the Cocktail Sauce
In a bowl, combine the ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, and the juice of the remaining lemon. Mix well until combined.
5
Serve
Drain the shrimp from the ice bath and arrange them on a platter. Serve with the cocktail sauce on the side and garnish with fresh parsley.
