How to Make Boiled Shrimp
- In a large pot, combine 4 cups of shrimp stock, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 bay leaves. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Increase heat to high. Add 1 pound of shrimp to the simmering stock. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
- Immediately remove the shrimp from the pot using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process and maintain a tender texture. This also helps them retain their vibrant color.
- Once the shrimp are completely cool, peel and devein them (if desired). Refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature!
