Shrimp Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

1

Prepare the Shrimp

In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the Old Bay seasoning and the whole lemon (cut in half) to the boiling water. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.

2

Chill the Shrimp

Remove the shrimp from the pot and place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry.

3

Serve

Arrange the chilled shrimp on a platter. Serve with cocktail sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
