1
Prepare the Poaching Liquid
In a large pot, combine water, lemon juice, and Old Bay seasoning. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
2
Poach the Shrimp
Once the liquid is boiling, add the shrimp and reduce the heat to medium. Poach the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque.
3
Ice Bath
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 a few minutes, then drain.
4
Serve
Arrange the poached shrimp on a serving platter with cocktail sauce and lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!
