Shrimp and Cocktail Sauce

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Shrimp

In a large pot, bring the water, lemon halves, and salt to a boil. Add the jumbo shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat, drain, and place shrimp in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let cool.

2

Make the Cocktail Sauce

In a medium bowl, combine the ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.

3

Serve

Arrange the cooled shrimp on a platter with a bowl of cocktail sauce in the center. Serve chilled.
