Instructions
Prepare the Shrimp
In a large pot, bring the water, lemon juice, bay leaves, and salt to a boil. Once boiling, add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque.
Drain and Cool
Drain the shrimp in a colander and rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool.
Make the Cocktail Sauce
In a medium bowl, mix together the ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and hot sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve
Arrange the shrimp on a platter and serve with the cocktail sauce on the side.
