DIRECTIONS
- Sauce: in a small bowl, whisk all the ingredients together until even in texture. Serve with shrimp within 2 hour or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- Shrimp: Pour cold water into a large bowl; add ice cubes, set aside.
- Fill a large pot with 6 cups of water, season with salt and cayenne, add bay leaves. Put over high heat and bring to a strong boil. Mix with a spatula to help dissolve salt. When it is done, add shrimp and boil until well cooked through.
- Remove shrimp from water with a large slotted spoon and transfer into the ice water bowl. Set aside for a few minutes to let shrimp cool enough to handle. Drain; pat dry with a paper towel. Serve within an hour with the sauce or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- Serving: arrange iceberg lettuce on 6 plates, top with equal count of shrimp and pour the sauce over the servings. Alternatively, you can mix shrimp and sauce in a mixing bowl first. Finally, sprinkle with chopped egg and parsley. Serve immediately.
