Cook the Shrimp

Poach the Eggs
In a separate pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
