Shrimp Preparation

1

Prepare the Water

In a large pot, combine 4 cups of water, sliced lemon, bay leaves, Old Bay seasoning, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

2

Cook the Shrimp

Once the water is boiling, add the large shrimp to the pot. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

3

Ice Bath

Remove the pot from heat and immediately transfer the shrimp to an ice bath (a bowl filled with ice water) to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for about 5 minutes.

4

Drain and Chill

Drain the shrimp and place them on a plate. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Cocktail Sauce

Mix the Ingredients

In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of horseradish, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce.

6

Adjust the Flavor

Stir well and taste the sauce. Add hot sauce to taste for desired spiciness.

7

Serve

Transfer the cocktail sauce to a serving bowl. Serve chilled shrimp with the cocktail sauce on the side.
