Poached Shrimp With Bay Leaves and Lemon image

A cold shrimp-cocktail recipe from Cooking Light. It's tasty enough that it doesn't need a sauce. But you can serve with cocktail sauce to stay low-fat, or a remoulade or other mayo-based sauce if you don't mind the extra calories. Time to cook doesn't include chilling time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I usually make a big batch of shrimp scampi and then use the leftovers to make this dish.

I used frozen shrimp for this recipe and they turned out great. I just thawed them out before cooking.

I added a little bit of Old Bay seasoning to the poaching liquid and it gave the shrimp a nice, spicy flavor.
