Shrimp and Cocktail Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large pot, combine water, lemon halves, bay leaves, and Old Bay seasoning. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Once boiling, add the shrimp to the pot. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook.

  3. 3

    Chill the Shrimp

    Remove the shrimp from the pot and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes, then drain and set aside.

  4. 4

    Make the Cocktail Sauce

    In a separate bowl, combine ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Mix well until combined.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Arrange shrimp on a platter, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with the cocktail sauce on the side.
