Notes
To cook the shrimp:
If using frozen shrimp, thaw and rinse. If using fresh shrimp, rinse well.
Bring a large stockpot of water to a rolling boil. Add 2 tablespoons of Old Bay Seasoning. Add the shrimp to the boiling water and continue to cook until the shrimp start rising to the top. Remove from the heat and drain in a colander. Add ice to the top of the shrimp to stop the cooking process. It's very important to not overcook the shrimp! This dish looks very pretty when it is served in a glass trifle bowl.
