"i'ma fix shrimp". ~ Get 40% off your first order with Trade at drinktrade.com/SHAQUILLE ~
Alright if you're down here in the description it means you're actually gonna try this method, so I wanna go a little deeper on the exact amounts and timings. The numbers I give in the video assume a specific amount of water and a specific weight of a specific size of shrimp. If you use jumbo or large size shrimp instead, the numbers will be different. In fact, the strength of your burner might also have an effect! The best course of action would be to find out what temperature of water leads to shrimp that cook to 140°F. (Temping the water just makes it easier than probing each individual shrimp.)
Here are suggestions for other sizes:
Extra-Jumbo (13/15): 163°F
Jumbo (16/20): 160°F
Extra-large (21/25): 155°F
All of these assume 1 pound of shrimp defrosted in a medium saucepan with 1 quart of water (plus 1 tablespoon each of salt and sugar for seasoning)
If you wanted to go deep on all the details, here's the ATK link, but beware it's paywalled: americastestkitchen.com/features/shrimp-cocktail
