________________

1. Thaw shrimp in a large mixing bowl under cold running water until thaw about 5 minutes. Stirring occasionally to separate shrimp.

2. Peel/devein shrimp and set aside.  Video: How to peel and devein shrimp (I usually purchase frozen raw, deveined shrimp, so I only need to peel off the shells.).

3. In a large saucepan, add water and old bay seasoning and bring to a boil.

4. Rinse shrimp well in a colander.

5. Lower heat to a small boil. Add shrimp and cook 3 – 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep shrimp from one another. Check one by cutting in half. If flesh is opaque they are done.

6. Strain shrimp into a colander and run under cold water to cool.

7. Refrigerate in an airtight container at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.

8. Serve chilled. Garnish with slices of lemon.

9. And serve with KG’s Cocktail Sauce and Enjoy!
