Directions:
- Tips & Tricks: The trick to great shrimp is to not use too much water when boiling them, season the water well and DO NOT RINSE them after boiling or you'll wash away all the flavor !
- Estimate how much water you will need to cover the shrimp. If you find that there is too much water after dumping the shrimp in the water, ladle out the excess. Remember, all you need is enough to cover the shrimp to keep the flavors strong.
- Boil water with seasonings, celery tops, bay leaf(s) and vinegar. Careful not to boil over!
- In the mean time prepare a large bowl of ice water and have 2 (med - large) zip lock bags handy for the shrimp, one bag inside the other.
- When seasoned water reaches a full boil, add the shrimp. Continue on high heat until the shrimp turn opaque & pink and tails begin to curl, this will only take approximately 5-7 minutes, depending on the size of the shrimp. After boiling is complete, prepare to remove from water but DO NOT RINSE, or you will rinse away all teh good flavors!
- Quickly remove the shrimp with a large slotted spoon and place into DOUBLE zip lock bag, close securely. Place the bags of shrimp in the ice water bath to halt the cooking, being careful not to let any water seep into the bags. I like to put a plate over the bags to keep them submerged while they cool. Turn the bags over a time or 2 to insure shrimp are getting cooled down.
- Once shrimp have chilled, place in the fridge until ready to use. Chill in fridge for a minimum of 2 hours before serving.
