How To Cook Shrimp for Shrimp Salad

Boil a pot of water with 1/2 lemon. Add the shrimp and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until just opaque. Transfer to a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the shrimp from cooking. You can also add them to a bowl filled with ice and water. Then drain and make your salad.
