Prepare the Shrimp
Bring 4 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of salt to a boil in a large pot. Add the jumbo shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pot and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain and refrigerate until ready to serve.
