Here is a very basic recipe for boiled shrimp. Wash the shrimp well, but do not remove the shells. Cut up one or two pieces of celery and place in a pot of water to boil. I'm not sure exactly why celery is used, except that it may absorb some of the "fishy" taste. Add the shrimp to boiling water. Boil for ~5 minutes or until the shrimp turns bright pink. Remove from the water and chill in the refrigerator, if desired. Don't chill them in a glass bowl, however, because it makes the shrimp taste funny. Serve with lots of cocktail sauce! A.M. Lanning
