    In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the lemon halves, bay leaves, and salt. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

  2. 2

    Make the Cocktail Sauce

    In a medium bowl, combine the ketchup, prepared horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Arrange the cooked shrimp on a platter and serve with the cocktail sauce on the side. Enjoy!
