Instructions
In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and sliced lemon.
Carefully add the shrimp to the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Drain the shrimp and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
To prepare the remoulade sauce, combine the mayonnaise, Creole mustard, ketchup, horseradish, celery, green onions, parsley, paprika, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce in a mixing bowl. Stir until smooth and well blended.
Taste the remoulade sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Chill the sauce in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Drizzle the remoulade sauce generously over the shrimp.
Garnish with lemon wedges and additional parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
