1
Boiling the Shrimp
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the water and add the remaining lemon half to the pot.
2
Cooking the Shrimp
Add the shrimp to the boiling water and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
3
Chilling the Shrimp
Immediately transfer the cooked shrimp to a bowl filled with ice to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for about 5 minutes.

4
Mixing the Sauce
In a medium bowl, combine the ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
5
Seasoning the Sauce
Taste the sauce and add salt as needed to enhance the flavor. Adjust the spiciness with more horseradish or hot sauce if desired.

6
Plating the Shrimp
Arrange the chilled shrimp on a serving platter. Serve with the cocktail sauce on the side in a small bowl.
7
Garnishing
Garnish the platter with lemon wedges for added decoration and freshness.
