Ingredients
1/8 cup Old Bay seasoning
2 limes Juice from 2 limes (about 1/4 cup)
16 large shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails on
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
½ lime Juice from 1/2 lime (about 1.5 teaspoons)
2 teaspoons brown sugar
Water (for cooking)
Lime wedges (for serving)
Directions
Fill a pot with water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the Old Bay seasoning and the juice from 2 limes, blending until the seasonings are fully dissolved.
Carefully place the shrimp into the simmering water. Maintain a gentle simmer and cook for 3 minutes, until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through to a minimum internal temperature of 145°F.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked shrimp to a colander and rinse gently with cool water. Let them cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
While the shrimp cool, prepare the dipping sauce. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and juice from the 1/2 lime until smooth and well combined.
Transfer the sauce to a small serving bowl and place it in the center of a large platter.
Arrange the cooled shrimp around the sauce bowl in an attractive pattern. Scatter fresh lime wedges around the platter and serve immediately.
