1
Prepare the Water
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the sliced lemon and Old Bay seasoning to the water.
2
Cook the 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 them.
3
Cool the Shrimp
Remove the shrimp from the pot and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for a few minutes.
4
Serve
Drain the shrimp and arrange them on a platter with the cocktail sauce in the center. Garnish with a fresh celery branch.
