Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Poaching Liquid

    In a large pot, combine the white wine, water, lemon juice, minced garlic, bay leaf, Old Bay seasoning, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Poach the Shrimp

    Once the poaching liquid is simmering, add the shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are opaque. Be careful not to overcook.

  3. 3

    Chill the Shrimp

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

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the chilled shrimp on a serving platter, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with cocktail sauce or lemon wedges.
