1
Prepare the Shrimp
In a large pot, fill with water and add the salt, Old Bay seasoning, bay leaves, and half of the lemon, cut into wedges. Bring the water to a rolling boil.
2
Cook the Shrimp
Once boiling, add the fresh shrimp to the pot. Allow the shrimp to cook for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.
3
Drain and Cool
Remove the pot from heat, and carefully drain the shrimp using a colander. Rinse the shrimp quickly with cold water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for a few minutes.
4
Serve
Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately.

5
Make the Cocktail Sauce
In a small bowl, combine cocktail sauce, horseradish, and lemon juice. Mix well until fully blended.
6
Serve the Sauce
Transfer the dipping sauce to a serving bowl and serve alongside the shrimp.
