What’s the trick to boiling shrimp that aren’t hard to peel? Can’t seem to get the timing down right...

I boil crawfish, and when i kill the fire to let them soak, i add the shrimp. Last week, i had 10 lbs of frozen in water, 9-12s, that i added directly to the boil at cutoff. Cooled down the crawfish and sped up the soak, while cooking the shrimp.

If just doing shrimp, bring your water to a boil, cut it off, then toss in the shrimp. 5-10 minutes should be plenty, but i'd start tasting them at the 5 minute mark to make sure they are cooked/peeled
