Shrimp Cocktail Recipe

Preparation and Serving

1. 1

   Prepare the Shrimp

   In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the halved lemon to the pot. Once boiling, add the jumbo shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pot and immediately place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

2. 2

   Chill the Shrimp

   Let the shrimp cool in the ice bath for about 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.

3. 3

   Serve

   Arrange the lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Place the chilled shrimp on top and serve with cocktail sauce on the side.
