Shrimp Cocktail Recipe

Prepare the Shrimp

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Squeeze the juice from the halved lemon into the water and add the lemon halves and Old Bay seasoning.

Cook the Shrimp

Add the shrimp to the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they're pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.

Ice Bath

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

Drain and Serve

Drain the shrimp and arrange them in a silver bowl. Serve with cocktail sauce and garnish with lemon wedges.
