1
Prepare the Water
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Squeeze the juice of the whole lemon into the water, then add the lemon halves to the pot along with 1 teaspoon of salt.
2
Cook the Shrimp
Once the water is boiling, add the 5 jumbo shrimp to the pot. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pot and transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
3
Chill the Shrimp
Let the shrimp sit in the ice bath for about 5 minutes until they are fully chilled. Drain and set aside.

4
Mix the Sauce
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of horseradish, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce. Stir until well combined.
5
Adjust Flavor
Taste the cocktail sauce and add hot sauce to your preference for spiciness. Mix again to combine.

6
Plate the Shrimp
Arrange the chilled jumbo shrimp on a serving platter. Serve with the cocktail sauce on the side.
