Shrimp and Cocktail Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large pot, combine water, halved lemon, bay leaves, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Once boiling, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and immediately transfer the shrimp to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

  3. 3

    Make the Cocktail Sauce

    In a medium bowl, combine ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Mix well until smooth.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the chilled shrimp on a platter, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with the cocktail sauce on the side.
