Steps:

• Prepare shrimp:
• Bring a 6- to 8-quart pot two-thirds full of salted water to a boil, then simmer shrimp, stirring occasionally, until they turn pink and are almost cooked through (they will still be translucent in very center but will continue to cook from residual heat), about 3 minutes. Drain and cool. Peel shrimp, leaving tail and first segment of shell intact.

PEEL AND EAT SHRIMP WITH SPICY COCKTAIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix ingredients for your brine, be sure that all the salt and sugar are completely dissolved before adding shrimp or other spices (very important!) Place shrimp into a bowl with brine, add whatever extra you choose, and refrigerate for 20 to 25 minutes.
• Don't go any longer or they will start to become a bit too salty.
• While shrimp are brining, place tomatoes, chili sauce, horseradish, sugar, pepper, and salt in food processor and blend until smooth.
• Refrigerate cocktail sauce until ready to serve.
• Place a baking sheet covered with foil on broiler pan under oven broiler and preheat for 5 minutes.
• (My boiler is small and awkward. When making larger batches of this, I've put the shrimp onto the top shelf of my oven on its highest setting).
• Remove shrimp from brine and drain thoroughly.
• Rinse the shrimp under cold water to remove the brine and dry on paper towels- important step, do not skip it!
• In a large bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, (I use a mister to coat them evenly) and sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning, if desired.
• Place shrimp onto the heated sheet pan and return to broiler immediately.
• After 2 minutes, check your shrimp.
• They should be truning slightly pink and the meat should be separating from where they were deveined.
• Turn the shrimp with a pair of tongs.
• Return the shrimp to broiler for 1 minute.
• Transfer shrimp to a cool bowl or cookie sheet and refrigerate immediately.
• Once shrimp have chilled, serve with cocktail sauce.
• These shrimp are great served warm right from the oven too.
• I usually can't wait until they chill before I eat them!

COCKTAIL SAUCE AND SHRIMP

Steps:

• Cocktail Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients. Cover and chill in the refrigerator. Prepare the Shrimp: In 6 qt. pot, combine 6 cups water and the wine; bring to a boil over high heat. Tie the peppercorns, bay leaves, pepper flakes, and herbs in a piece of cheesecloth to make a bundle. Add the bundle to the pot, adjust the heat to maintain a steady simmer, and simmer for 25 minutes. Add the lemon slices and salt (the broth should be as salty as seawater). Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until just opaque throughout, about 3 minutes, depending on the size of the shrimp. To check for doneness, cut through the shell and into the middle of one shrimp with a paring knife. With a skimmer or slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a large rimmed baking sheet. Spread them in a single layer and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the refrigerator and let cool completely, about 1 hour. Peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact. using a paring knife, make a shallow slit down the middle of the back of each shrimp to expose the black vein. Lift out each vein with the tip of the knife and wipe it off with a paper towel.
