1
Prepare the Poaching Liquid
In a large pot, combine the water, lemon halves, and Old Bay seasoning. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
2
Poach the Shrimp
Once the liquid is boiling, add the shrimp. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.
3
Cool the Shrimp
Remove the shrimp from the pot and transfer them to 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 serving platter. Serve with cocktail sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
