Cooking the Shrimp
Poach the Shrimp
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add the jumbo shrimp. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and drain.
Chill the Shrimp
Immediately transfer the cooked shrimp to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for about 5 minutes.
Drain and Serve
Remove the shrimp from the ice water, drain well, and arrange them on a serving platter.
