I freeze gallon milk jugs of water . Get the water seasoned / boiling. Drop the shrimp in and once they change color slightly kill the burner and drop the frozen jugs in . This cools the water and starts to slow down the cooking process. Even if they are not finished cooking its ok the ambient temp even after the jugs cool it down somewhat is enough to finish the cooking process. I usually let em soak for 15-30 min depending on who is eating them. You can also throw a few sticks of butter in during the soak time , this will help you peel them
