Instructions
- 1
Bring a medium saucepan of generously salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until they are pink, opaque throughout, and curl into a loose C-shape — they should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Do not overcook; they will continue to firm slightly as they cool.
- 2
Drain the shrimp in a colander and transfer to a large bowl. Let them cool for 5 minutes, then cut each shrimp into 3 or 4 bite-sized pieces.
