Method

Preparation Directions

1

Prepare the Shrimp

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

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

3

Chill the Shrimp

Remove the shrimp from the pot and place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for about 5 minutes.

4

Prepare the Cocktail Sauce

In a separate bowl, mix together ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper to taste.

5

Serve

Drain the shrimp and serve chilled with the cocktail sauce on the side.
