How do I do it then?
Boil, then peel and devein?
YES I doubt you get head on shrimp, but if you do leave the heads on as well.
Season water heavy with Crab Boil and bring to a boil..then add the shrimp
Timing is learned do to pot size, burner size and shrimp size.
But at best 3 minutes total from adding the shrimp. I usually let it return to a boil then cut the fire and let soak 10-15 minutes.
But # 1 rule.... DO NOT OVER COOK THE SHRIMP !
start taste testing the smaller shrimp after you cut the fire off.
Good luck and Merry Christmas

bring water ,spices,onion(if you want),lemon(if you want) to a boil. put in shrimp (unpeeled)cover take off heat once it boils again just a few minutes, let rest a few more minutes, they will turn pink and float , drain, peel.
If you like to steam them soak them in a cool bath of salt and shrimp boil 30 minutes before you cook em...I don't care what people say it tastes fine.
Sautéed could be a good route if you don't like the whole cleaning after you cook it and you can get a good spice coating that way too.

If you have some(not likely) liquid Zatarains liquid crab boil in enough water for the shrimp with a chopped onion and a lemon, bring to a boil, drop in the shrimp back to a boil for onw minute, then soak for 3-4 minutes and drain then cold water bath to stop cooking.
