SHRIMP COCKTAIL ~ MY WAY!
My Way! means, the shrimp are wild caught, they are peeled, deveined, and the tails are removed! That's how I like 'em! I think the shrimp have better texture, and more flavor when you cook them yourself. So much better than that shrimp ring you buy at the store!

Steps:
- 1. In a large pot with water, mix the lemon juice, Old Bay Seasoning, ground black pepper, smashed garlic, bay leaf, and quartered onion. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 20 minutes or so.
- 2. While the seasoned water is simmering, prepare the shrimp. Peel, devein, and I prefer the tails removed. (seems to me, people always leave that last little bit of meat in the tail when eating, it gets wasted)
- 3. Bring the seasoned water to a rapid boil. Add the shrimp, and cook for about 3 minutes. They will be nice and pink on the outside, and cooked through. DO NOT OVER COOK, the shrimp will be tough.
- 4. When cooking is complete, put the shrimp in a big bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Remove from the ice water, and chill until ready to serve.
- 5. Serve with your favorite cocktail sauce. Enjoy, this is a treat!
