1
Prepare the Shrimp
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt and the whole lemon, sliced in half, to the boiling water. Once boiling, add the jumbo shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
2
Chill the Shrimp
Remove the shrimp from the boiling water and immediately transfer them to an ice bath (a bowl filled with ice and cold water) to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for about 5 minutes.
3
Serve
Drain the shrimp from the ice bath, arrange on a serving platter, and serve with cocktail sauce on the side.
