Shrimp Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Shrimp Cocktail Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring water and Old Bay seasoning to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.

  2. 2

    Cool 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 a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Arrange lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Place the cooled shrimp on top of the lettuce and serve with cocktail sauce and lemon wedges on the side.
