Prepare the Shrimp
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the water and add the lemon halves.

Cook the Shrimp
Once the water is boiling, add the jumbo shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they 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 cool for about 5 minutes.
4
Serve
Drain the shrimp and arrange them on a serving platter. Serve with house-made cocktail sauce and lemon wedges on the side.
