How To Make
Shrimp Cocktail
Gather your ingredients
raw shrimp

peppercorns
Boil Water
Add 2 quarts of water, parsley, bay leaves, peppercorn, juice from one lemon. Bring to a boil, let boil for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and add shrimp to pot.
Let shrimp sit in hot water for 3 minutes. Remove shrimp from the pot with a slotted spoon or drain in a colander and transfer to the prepared ice bath.
Poach Shrimp
Let shrimp sit in an ice bath for 5-10 minutes before draining. Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel and chill until ready to serve.
Make your own cocktail sauce or use store-bought. I like this organic, low-sugar option from Primal Kitchen.
Dip and enjoy!
Such a healthy and delicious snack and/or appetizer
