Shrimp Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Once boiling, add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking.

  3. 3

    Chill the Shrimp

    Remove the shrimp from the pot and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Drain the shrimp from the ice water, arrange them on a serving platter, and serve with cocktail sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley.
