1
Prepare the Shrimp
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat, drain, and transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. Once cool, drain again and set aside.
2
Make the Cocktail Sauce
In a bowl, combine ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Mix well until combined. Adjust hot sauce to taste.
3
Grill the Lemons
Cut the lemons in half and grill them over medium heat until they are caramelized and have grill marks, about 3-4 minutes.
4
Serve
Arrange the cooked shrimp on a platter with the grilled lemon halves. Serve with the cocktail sauce on the side.
