I am boiling 30 lbs of shrimp for the family today with all the regular crawfish fixings and got question about shrimp time. I've heard it's best to turn off heat when putting in shrimp and let it sit about 10 minutes to soak flavor up. Is that the better method or keep letting it boil with heat and throw in 4-5 minutes?

What you have to remember, shrimp cook very fast. So you either need to cook short and over spice the water or cook normal and cool the water to soak so the cooking stops. Either method can be effective...

Add all seasonings to pot, cover, bring to boil. Put in shrimp return to boil, when the shrimp just turn pink cut heat and cool with ice in 2 litre bottle so as not to dilute seasoning. Soak until desired taste is reached
