Answer:
You can find fishbowls that are shaped like giant brandy snifters in most craft shops. I would put ice in the bottom, then a layer of green leaf garnish, and then pile the shrimp on top, and serve the cocktail sauce on the side in a pretty bowl.
Go to your local market and they should have it setup for you... but If you want to make it more festive, you could always get your shirmp and place them in a circle with some cocktail sauce. I think glass plates look the nicest.
Grab the largest shallow bowl you have, and a small bowl 1/3 of the large bowl size.
Fill the large bowl 2/3 full of crushed or small ice. Place the small bowl (empty) in the center, this is what you will use for your cocktail sauce.
Arrange shrimp on top of ice around the small bowl. Garnish with thinly sliced lemon slices.
TIP: if you are buying frozen shrimp thaw them in lemon water, it lessens the fishy flavor and odor that frozen fish tends to have.
Go to a party shop, they probably have some pretty unique bowls and platters for you to present you shrimp on.
Fill a large punch bowl with ice shavings. Put a bowl of cocktail sauce in the center. Place shrimp on the ice and around the edge of the bowl. You can garnish with some holly leaves or something.
Ive seen sculpted bowls made from blocks of ice. They are beautiful. Im sure you can make one your self. You can probably just fill a bowl with water a freeze. Then start carving out the center of the ice to make a bowl. Who knows..it might be easy.
Shish Kabobs (pretty colored sticks) -- alternate shrimp and wedge of lemon. Serve individual cups with the sauce.
Topiary tree - put wedge of lemon and 2 shrimp on a fancy toothpick and arrange on the foam topiary xmas trees (cover with foil first - both for food safety and decoration) -- don't forget to secure it to the platter so it will not tip over. The sauce can be the 'skirt' to the tree. Go to a party store and you should be able to find a circle tray (like a big 'O') and the tree will sit in the middle.
I have a catering company and we have a (really) large dish that we place a mound of ice in and then pile on the shrimp, shucked oysters, clams, etc around. We scatter a couple pieces of seaweed here and there for color (or you can use wiled spinach or anything bright and leafy) and scatter the lemon wedges around as well. Serve cocktail sauce and mignonette in separate matching vessels.
look these pictures, the last one is a huge display of shrimp

curve out a ball of ice and hang the shrimp around the rim of the bowl, fill it with cocktail sauce and arrange it on a tray with more shrimp, and lemons and lemon rinds, displayed in ornate design.
You can make an decorative ice bowl by placing water in a large bowl and adding herbs like dill and or parsely, then place a smaller bowl in the center of that and filling with enough water to sink the bowl to within an inch of the bottom bowl.
In a bowl with ice shavings, lemon wedges, cocktail sauce. THey must stay cold. You dont want your guests sick! You can skewer them with sugar cane sticks or rosemary.
Make your own ice bowl. Get two metal bowls, one slightly smaller than the other. Freeze about one inch of water in the larger bowl, then place the smaller bowl in the larger one and fill the space between them with water. Drop thin lemon slices into the space as well. Let it freeze solid. When you are ready to use the bowl, dip the metal bowl into hot water to loosen the ice bowl. Be patient so you don't break the ice...if it is thick enough it won't thaw for a while. Then fill the ice bowl with shrimp and lemon slices/wedges. Use pretty glass bowls in a bed of ice to serve the cocktail sauce, unless you are brave enough to make tiny ice bowls (mine always break, but I know it is possible)
