The engines in Alaska told me to throw it in boiling water and the moment it floats, take it out, let it cool a bit, and EAT IT. Of course they were right.
YEP.
Pot of water, tablespoon of vinegar, correct amount of Zatarain's Shrimp Boil.
Bring to a boil, dump in shrimp, let it start to boil again, cut the heat and in two minutes by the clock they will be floating.
Drain, spread out on plates and put in the fridge for 11 minutes.
Eat.
Learned it from the CxxxAxx side of dad's family from just southwest of Baton Rouge, LA.
Those boys could cook, eat, drink beer and run trot lines all night long.
