Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Boiling Liquid

    In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add the Old Bay seasoning, smashed garlic cloves, and salt. Stir to combine.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Once the water is at a rolling boil, add the shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.

  3. 3

    Drain and Chill

    Remove the pot from heat, and drain the shrimp in a colander. Optionally, you can place the shrimp in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and chill them quickly.
