Apple cider vinegar, not over cooking

Look up the Stale Cracker videos on YouTube. Boil them in plain water first, then add seasonings.
I’ve been boiling shrimp wrong for decades. I was a non believer, tried it, and was amazed that I’d never been told to boil them like that before.

Anyone successfully add them to a crawfish boil while the crawfish are soaking? How long?

Do your normal thing.
Put shrimp in, when you start seeing bubbles and it's coming back to a Boil. Let it go for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes.
Turn off and cool the pot. Frozen corn, frozen jugs of water, boil boss, whatever. Get it cooled and let them babies soak for 15 minutes.
And use fresh shrimp.
ETA: or get setup 47 different stations, take your shrimp and cooke them 17 times like the know it alls. Just don't overcook/overthink it.

Don’t put them in boiling water. It can be at 160 degrees and they will be cooked (food safe) in pretty much two or three minutes but won’t ever get tough or have sticky shells. Much easier to soak them longer as well since the water isn’t blistering hot.

Pull them when you can see the shells are slightly separated from the tails.
