Notes

• For best results, use large shrimp (21-25 count).
• Don't overcook the shrimp, as they will become rubbery.
• Chilling the shrimp before serving will make the cocktail even more refreshing.
• To keep shrimp fresh, store them in the refrigerator in a bowl of ice water. Drain well before cooking.
• Use a slotted spoon to drain excess liquid from the shrimp after cooking.
