Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the Old Bay seasoning to the boiling water.

  2. 2

    Add Shrimp

    Once the water is boiling, add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.

  3. 3

    Ice Bath

    Remove the shrimp from the pot and immediately transfer them to a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for a few minutes.

  4. 4

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooled, drain the shrimp and place them on a serving platter. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the shrimp and garnish with parsley.

  5. 5

    Serve with Cocktail Sauce
