Shrimp and Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the lemon (halved), bay leaves, and Old Bay seasoning. Once boiling, add the jumbo shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.

  2. 2

    Ice Bath

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

  3. 3

    Prep the Cocktail Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix the cocktail sauce with horseradish to taste. Adjust the amount of horseradish based on your preference for spiciness.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Drain the shrimp from the ice bath and arrange them on a platter. Serve with the cocktail sauce and lemon wedges on the side.
