Method

Cooking and Preparing the Shrimp and Sauce

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the lemon halves and salt to the boiling water.

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the jumbo shrimp to the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pot and place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

    In a mixing bowl, combine ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, prepared horseradish, lime juice, and finely chopped Malagueta peppers. Stir until well mixed. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
