1
Boil the Shrimp
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.

Chill the Shrimp
Once cooked, immediately remove the shrimp from the pot and transfer them to a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for about 5 minutes until chilled.
3
Season the Shrimp
Drain the shrimp from the ice water and pat them dry. Toss the shrimp in the Old Bay seasoning until they are evenly coated.

4
Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and a few dashes of Tabasco sauce.
5
Mix Well
Stir the ingredients together until well blended. Taste and adjust the Tabasco sauce to your desired spice level.

Plate the Shrimp
Arrange the chilled shrimp on a serving platter.

Serve with Sauce and Lemon
