How to boil shrimp?

I tend to put more seasoning (both powder and liquid) than crawfish and cook less. Depending on how quick they come back to a boil, I might cut them off when they are coming back to a boil, or only boil a minute or two. I also like to add ice to cool the shrimp when I cut off the fire and stop the cooking process. Shrimp cook quick and overcooked shrimp are almost as bad as shrimp with no spice...

think the next time I boil shrimp I will try the method of boiling them first and then dumping them into a tub of water with the seasonings so soak.

I tried this once thinking it would not work. I was surprised how well it worked.
