Old Bay Shrimp with Cocktail Sauce

Rinse shrimp under cold running water. Cut lemon into quarters and reserve one slice for sauce.

In a large pot combine shrimp, lemon quarters, bay leaves, peppercorns, Old Bay seasoning and water. Place over medium high heat, stirring frequently until shrimp reach 145° F. Do not boil water or let water temperature go above 180° F.

For cocktail sauce, place ketchup, horseradish, chili sauce, Tabasco, and Old Bay seasoning in a large mixing bowl and whisk until all ingredients are incorporated.

Strain shrimp and discard water. Chill shrimp for at least 2 hours. Serve in chilled vessel with cocktail sauce for dipping.
