-Turn off flame as soon as you add shrimp.
- let soak 20-25 minutes.

Enjoy.

Shrimp will cook in the hot water and you won't have to worry about ice or over cooking.


With this method the temperature of the soak water is higher, increasing the chance of overcooking.

Get the shrimp cooked during that 60 second boil, then cool the water to the point where you can stick your finger in the water. Now, if you need a longer soak for Seasoning, you've reduced the chance of overcooking.

The shrimp are never over a flame, the water cools when you add the shrimp and it is still hot enough to cook shrimp without over cooking.
