   Step 1: Bring a large pot of water (about 3.8 liters) (around 4 quarts) to a boil and add 2 tablespoons of salt. Add the shrimp (1 pound) and cook for 2 minutes. Keep a watchful eye on the shrimp as overcooking it will turn it rubbery. Remove the shrimp and place it into a bowl full of ice to stop it from cooking any further.
