Shrimp and Sauce

Method

Preparation and Serving

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the old bay seasoning and the lemon. Once boiling, add the jumbo shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes 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 an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Make the Cocktail Sauce

    In a mixing bowl, combine ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until fully combined.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the chilled shrimp on a platter with a bowl of the cocktail sauce in the center. Serve immediately.
