Shrimp

Water

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Fill a large pot with 4 cups of water and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.

  2. 2

    While the water is heating, rinse the fresh shrimp under cold running water to clean them.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Once the water is boiling, carefully add the shrimp to the pot.

  2. 4

    Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook.

  3. 5

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp from the pot and place them in a bowl.

Seasoning

  1. 6

    While the shrimp are still hot, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of Old Bay® seasoning over them and toss to coat evenly.

  2. 7

    Let the shrimp cool slightly before serving.

  3. 8

    Serve the shrimp with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
