1
Prepare the Shrimp
In a large pot, bring water, lemon halves, and salt to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and immediately transfer the shrimp to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
2
Make the Cocktail Sauce
In a mixing bowl, combine ketchup, horseradish sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Mix well until fully combined.
3
Serve
Drain the shrimp from the ice bath and arrange them on a serving platter. Serve with the cocktail sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
