For the Shrimp:
- 2 cup dry white wine
- 12 whole black peppercorns
- 1 lemon
- 1 Turkish bay leaf
- Pinch of coarse kosher salt

For the Dipping sauce:
- 1/2 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 2 teaspoons prepared white horseradish
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel

Instructions
- For shrimp: Fill medium bowl with ice water; set aside. Combine 2 cups water, wine, and next 4 ingredients in medium saucepan. Bring to boil.

Using slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to bowl with ice water; reserve poaching liquid and lemon half. Drain and peel shrimp, leaving tails intact.
- For dipping sauce: Squeeze juice from reserved lemon half into poaching liquid in pan. Boil liquid until reduced to generous 2 tablespoons, about 20 minutes. Strain; cool.
