Shrimp and Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add salt. Once boiling, add the jumbo shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and immediately transfer the shrimp to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine the horseradish sauce with fresh lemon juice. Adjust the amount of lemon juice according to your taste preference.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Drain the shrimp from the ice bath and arrange them on a serving platter. Serve with the horseradish sauce on the side and lemon wedges for garnish.
