Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cocktail Sauce

    In a mixing bowl, combine ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and hot sauce. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the halved lemon and salt. Once boiling, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque.

    Cool the Shrimp

    Remove the shrimp from the pot and transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for a few minutes.
