Preparing the Shrimp

1. Start by cleaning the shrimp. Remove the heads, shells, and veins, leaving the tails intact for easier handling. 2. Rinse the cleaned shrimp under cold water to remove any residual debris.

Cooking the Shrimp

1. Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil and add a pinch of salt. The salt will help to season the shrimp slightly. 2. Carefully add the cleaned shrimp to the boiling water. 3. Let the shrimp cook until they turn pink and opaque, which typically takes about 2-3 minutes depending on their size. 4. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp from the water and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess water.
