Shrimp and Cocktail Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Poach the Shrimp

    In a large pot, combine the water, white wine, lemon juice, salt, black peppercorns, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Add Shrimp

    Once the liquid is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the Wild Gulf shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

  3. 3

    Chill the Shrimp

    Remove the shrimp from the pot and immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for about 5 minutes, then drain.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the chilled shrimp on a platter with a bowl of cocktail sauce in the center. Garnish with lemon wedges.
