60 seconds in plain water, then kill it and add seasonings- per the cracker.

Couple minutes bruh. Shells should separate quick. If your stove is electric, move them off that burner for the soak.

I cook very small batches for my wife pretty often.

I use a small sauce pan and add seasoning liberally. Get to a boil, add the shrimp and cut the heat off around 2 minutes. It barely gets back to a boil before I'm finished.

Dump some ice in and let them soak for 15-20 minutes.

When they turn pink, they are done. Stop the cook within two minutes of that. One minute would be better.

thats easy, put 1 gallon of seasoned water in a pot, get water to a rapid rolling boil, then turn off fire, and drop in the shrimp while stirring, it takes roughly 1 minute to fully cook, then let soak for a few minutes and then eat

I do this weekly but with “fresh shrimp” with heads. Season your water, bring to boil, dump shrimp in, when it comes back up to a boil, boil for 60 seconds, cut off the heat, put in some frozen ears of corn and let soak for 15-20minutes.
