Could just be a trolling retard on the loose.

Like some of the others have said if you boil for 2 minutes and soak for 20 minutes you won't be able to peel them. Unless that ice you add really cools the water down to almost room temperature they will keep cooking and the shells will stick to the meat. And add more seasoning.

All sounds good. I keep my shrimp on ice out all the stuff you said in it. Dumb shrimp and turn off fire , soak for 20 mins. They peel amazing and don’t overcook.

Pretty good plan. All of that throwing ice in, and “stopping the boil” that people do is unnecessary. I never get the water boiling. When it gets close to 200 degrees, you’ll see the water start to “swell”. That’s when I throw the shrimp in and shut it off. You can even do it at much lower temperatures than that. Then it’s just a matter of soaking for 15-20 min, while sampling along the way.
