Combine the shrimp, lemon slices, peppercorns, and enough water to cover in a saucepan.
36 large Shrimp, 1 large lemon, 15 whole peppercorns
Bring to a simmer over moderate heat, and remove from the heat as soon as the water starts to boil.
Allow to sit in the hot water for 5 minutes, then drain and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until well chilled.
Spoon the sauce into a small bowl or wine glass and arrange the shrimp by looping their curved bodies over the edge of the bowl.
1 cup spicy hollandaise sauce
Garnish with lemon wedges.
