1
Prepare the Shrimp
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add lemon slices and Old Bay seasoning to the boiling water.
2
Cook the Shrimp
Add the shrimp to the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.
3
Ice Bath
Remove the shrimp from the pot and transfer them to a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for about 5 minutes.
4
Drain and Serve
Drain the shrimp from the ice bath and arrange them on a platter. Serve with spicy cocktail sauce and Sauce Louis on the side.
