- Add salt to a pot on the stove with the same amount of salt that you would add for pasta. Add the shrimp and turn on the heat. When the water is boiling and the top on the pot is showing some white foam on top. Check the shrimp and if cooked and not translucent, immediately drain the shrimp into a colander and immediately cover with ice. Rinse quickly to melt the ice and immediately drain to avoid drawing the shrimp. All this should only take less than ONE minute.
