1
Prepare the poaching liquid
In a large pot, combine water, Old Bay seasoning, and the juice from the halved lemon. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
2
Poach the shrimp
Once the water is simmering, add the shrimp to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pot and place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
3
Serve
Drain the shrimp from the ice water and arrange them on a serving platter. Serve chilled with cocktail sauce and lemon wedges on the side.
