Boil pot of water with Old Bay, lemon and celery for 5 minutes. Turn off heat and add shrimp. Wait until the shrimp begin to curl. When half curled, remove with slotted spoon. Immediately cool if you want to serve chilled as shrimp cocktail.

Personal Notes:
Shells can be removed after boiling or before. The flavor is best if done after. Please devein in either case! Shrimp cutters or a knife can do the trick if serving with shells on.
