Instructions
Prepare a large ice-water bath. Bring a large pot of water over high heat to boil, add lemon, bay leaves and a generous amount of salt.
Reduce heat to medium, add shrimp and simmer until bright pink and opaque, about 3 minutes. The shrimp will curl when done. Do not overcook.
Drain and transfer shrimp to the ice bath to cool completely, then drain again and serve over ice with sauce on the side.
For the sauce;
in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup and Sriracha (or other hot sauce).
