Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add sliced lemon, salt, and black pepper. Then add the shrimp to the boiling water and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Do not overcook.

  2. 2

    Chill the Shrimp

    Remove the shrimp from the pot and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Arrange the chilled shrimp on a platter. Serve with prepared horseradish and chimichurri sauce on the side for dipping.
