Shrimp Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Boil the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook.

  2. 2

    Chill the Shrimp

    Remove the shrimp from the pot and immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Drain the shrimp and pat them dry. Arrange them on a platter with lemon wedges and a bowl of cocktail sauce for dipping.
