Help me with shrimp boil

Shrimp cook very fast. Overcooked shrimp suck

Cook your corn and potatoes first with just a litlle seasoning, boil potatoes 15-20 minutes depending on size till the are done throughout , frozen corn only takes about 3 minutes, when that is done take out and put aside, add a shitload of seasoning (about twice what you would for crawfish) bring water to a rolling boil, add shrimp and immediately cut off heat, stir shrimp and when they start sinking take them out, do not mess around and let them over cook

Over cooking is how most people mess them up. Yes use a lot more seasoning than for crawfish.

They cook really fast when they hit that boiling water.


I keep a couple frozen milk jugs and drop them in to bring the temp down without diluting the water. It will still be hot but it will stop the cooking process so they can soak until they reached the desired spice level.

Yeah. For 10 lbs that's a bit much. A single jug should do.
