👨🍳 Instructions
- Fill a large pot with water, add a generous amount of salt (and optional aromatics like lemon slices, bay leaves, or black peppercorns), and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Once the water is boiling rapidly, add the shrimp to the pot; they will cook very quickly.
- Cook for 1-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque and curl slightly; do not overcook as they will become tough.
- Immediately drain the shrimp using a colander and serve warm or chilled, often with a side of cocktail sauce or lemon wedges.
