The shrimp are poached in a spiced broth with lemon, coriander, mustard seeds, and bay leaf, infusing them with their amazing flavor. Once they're done, immediately plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking and leave them pleasantly firm and slightly crisp. You can poach them the night before and store them in the refrigerator, just like remoulade. This French mayonnaise-like sauce is made with mustard, hot sauce, green onions, celery, and lemon juice. It's perfect with seafood. Serve the shrimp with remoulade as a cold appetizer. Your guests will be delighted.
