1. 1

   Prepare the Poaching Liquid

   Poach the Shrimp

   Once the poaching liquid is simmering, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook.

   Drain and Chill

   Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp from the pot and place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for about 5 minutes.
