Prepare the Shrimp
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Squeeze the juice of half the lemon into the water and add the lemon halves to the pot. Add the jumbo shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pot and transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
