Any suggestions on times per pound? How high to make the heat?
Tricks on making shells easier to peel?

Gas or electric stove? You need to really overseason the water. Cook time and soaking is going to depend on how quickly the water come back to a boil...

Don't do it unless you like the smell of shrimp inside your house for the next week.

I've done it with a couple pounds of shrimp. Cook them just like crawfish, but don't soak as long. Season water with crab boil (follow portions on package), let that boil for 10 minutes and stir. Add shrimp and bring back to a boil. Kill the heat and let it soak. Taste test after 5 minutes of soak. If you want more flavor, let it soak longer.
You want max heat on your burner.

Suggestion: Do not over cook! ~ They will turn into pencil erasers.

Bring seasoned water to a rolling boil on high heat
add shrimp
watch them very closely, and when the shell starts to separate from the meat, take them out
add ice to water to cool to the point that it won't cook the shrimp anymore
add shrimp back to water until they reach desired seasoning level
and like others have said, season the water more than you think you need
bon appetit

do you have a BBQ pit? You can set the pot up on the burner on that or on the pit itself. When you boil something with that much seasoning the smell lingers, unless you have a bad arse hoodvent

Definitely add ice to stop the cooking process.
