1
Prepare the Shrimp
In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the salt, lemon slices, and lime slices to the boiling water. Once boiling, 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 an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.
3
Serve
Drain the shrimp from the ice bath, arrange on a platter, and serve with cocktail sauce on the side. Garnish with chopped parsley and hot sauce if desired.
