Shrimp Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Shrimp Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Poaching Liquid

    In a large pot, combine water, lemon juice, and Old Bay seasoning. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Poach the Shrimp

    Once the liquid is boiling, add the jumbo shrimp to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.

  3. 3

    Ice Bath

    Immediately transfer the cooked shrimp to a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Drain and Serve

    Drain the shrimp and pat them dry with paper towels. Arrange them on a serving platter and garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges. Serve with cocktail sauce on the side.
