Get you some 26/30ct gulf shrimp. frozen in 5lb block is just fine.

thaw the shrimp under cold tapwater

Boil a pot of water.

Toss the shrimp in when boiling. amount of shrimp dependent on pot size.

Let the pot come back to a boil. Once it does the shrimp should be opaque (cooked) and you can remove from heat and drain it. it's preferable that a few tablespoons of water are left for the next step.

Immediately coat liberally with seasoning of your choice (of course I recommend Old Bay) and (this is important) put a lid on the pot and shake vigorously.

Immediately after transfer shrimp to a bowl.

Eat a few hot.

dump a few in an ice bath to chill quickly.

Save some of the unchilled in the fridge after cooling. Try them the next day and marvel at how the flavor just sucked into the meat.
