Method

For the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large pot, combine the water, halved lemon, Old Bay seasoning, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Once boiling, add the jumbo shrimp to the pot. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.

  3. 3

    Cool the Shrimp

    Remove the shrimp from the pot and place them in a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process.

  4. 4

    Drain and Chill

    Drain the shrimp and pat them dry with paper towels. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

For the Cocktail Sauce

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, mix together the ketchup, prepared horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce (if using) until well combined.

  2. 6

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the cocktail sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more horseradish or hot sauce for extra kick.

For Garnish

  1. 7

    Prepare Garnish

    Just before serving, cut the remaining lemon into wedges and chop the fresh parsley.
