Place water in a large, deep pot. Squeeze the lemon juice into it and add the squeezed lemon. Add the salt, hot sauce, pepper and garlic and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1 minute. Allow shrimp to cool slightly in the boil, then drain and peel. Set aside. Heat olive oil in a deep skillet and saute peppers, corn and onion just until wilted, about 5 minutes. Do not brown. Stir in cilantro, salt and pepper. Then add the lime juice. Mix. Add shrimp and toss. Serve on lettuce and radicchio leaves. Source: Lee Bailey's New Orleans Cookbook.
