Shrimp Cocktail

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

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

  2. 2

    Cool the Shrimp

    Remove the shrimp from the pot and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Drain the shrimp and arrange them on a serving platter. Serve chilled with cocktail sauce and lemon wedges on the side.
