I've seen something sort of similar with crabs. They were boiled in plain water. After the boiling was done, the strainer pot was dumped in a cooler of ice water containing a jacked-up amount of seasoning. The crabs instantly absorbed all the cold, seasoned water and were ready to pick in just a few minutes. They came out tasting good and were easy to pick.

Did this with shrimp once. Boil in plain water. Tossed in ice cold season water. I was suprised, it worked well


would like to do this but use cold white wine with seasoning

I don't know if they still do it that way, but when I worked at Tony's in BR (back inn 96) ... they boiled in plain water and soaked in seasoned water that was a lower temp. Made for cleaner crawfish, seasoned water lasted longer, and it created the same effect of the cool down/stop cooking/soak up seasoning that you would create by hosing the pot or dumping in some ice.
