1
Cook the Shrimp
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the lemon halves to the pot. Once boiling, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and immediately transfer the shrimp to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
2
Prepare the Cocktail Sauce
In a bowl, mix together the cocktail sauce, horseradish, hot sauce, and salt. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
3
Serve
Arrange the chilled shrimp on a serving platter and serve with the cocktail sauce on the side. Garnish with fresh parsley.
