Can you soak them longer without making them hard to peel?


That's why I throw in a bag of ice. It stops the cooking process and I can soak them as long as I like.

Awesome! So you can soak them 20 minutes or so?

I cut the heat as soon as it comes to a boil and they start to float. Let it sit for about 2 minutes then I put my whole pot in a sink of ice water to cool it. Stir the pot vigorously as soon as it goes in the ice. Let them soak in there for about 30 min.

Cook till they float, soak till they sink

I usually bring water to a rolling boil with extra seasoning vs when i cook crawfish, drop shrimp in, immediately cut fire, they will start floating shortly, add some ice and when they start to sink pull them out, they will continue to cook from the retained heat

Just stir the pot after adding the ice so the temp is consistent throughout the pot. Also spraying they outside of the pot with a hose helps.

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
