Best method for boiling shrimp

Season water without salt. Maybe put a little oil in your water. Bring water to boil, throw shrimp in. When water returns to a boil shut it off and salt. Let em soak.

Heavy on the seasoning in the water since they won't be in the water that long. Add shrimp to boiling water. Keep burner on high for about 2 minutes then turn it off. Doesn't matter if it gets back to a boil. Let soak. After about 5 minutes, stir and check a couple of the shrimp. Your checking for the shell to pull back about 1/8" from the meat. Stir and check every couple minutes until you get the 1/8 gap. Enjoy.

I salt my water. Most of the people that I know that don't are old timers that like to overboil or oversoak the shrimp. No salt, you can overboil, and the shrimp will still peel good. I find that if you pull the shrimp when they have the right gap they peel easy every time.

Season water
Bring to boil
Throw in shrimp
Cut off once they start float
Throw in bag of ice
Let soak

my shrimp thread

Bring water to a rolling boil
Put in shrimp
Bring to rolling boil
Put in salt when it rolls again cut it off and add ice
Start watching them soak. U can see when the back seperates from the meat. Thats when you pull them and they will peel pefect

Recipe from a buddy that boils for a living. You will need atleast double your normal seasoning tho
