ONLY USE FOR BEST TASTE WILD CAUGHT SHRIMP NO FARM RAISED SHRIMP I don't care if you use cold, warm or hot water!
Start cooking shrimp.
The water may never come to a boil.
But constantly stir srhrimp.
Don't worry about the water boiling or time, it does not matter!
When you see 1 or 2 shrimp float!
drain immediately and have an ice bath waiting, to shock the shrimp and stop cooking process.
Drain well and chill 1 hour before serving!
If eating hot serve right after cooking.
If you follow this method you will only serve the best.
