Shrimp

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the lemon halves and Old Bay seasoning. Once boiling, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.

  2. 2

    Ice Bath

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

  3. 3

    Drain and Chill

    Drain the shrimp and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them in the refrigerator to chill until ready to serve.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the shrimp on a platter and serve with cocktail sauce on the side.
