FYI: Shrimp sizing: The higher the numbers the smaller the shrimp consequently the more shrimp per pound. Example: 41/50 ct. Shrimp are smaller shrimp and average 41 to 40 shrimp per pound.
Season the water heavily with salt and garlic.
Bring seasoned water to a strong boil, add frozen shrimp, cover, and boil until they're pink outside and opaque in the center, about 1 to 2 minutes add additional time for larger shrimp. DO NOT OVERCOOK.
Drain immediately and move shrimp to an ice bath, which is a bowl of water and ice. This will stop the cooking process, leaving the shrimp perfectly tender.
Pat dry and serve with cocktail sauce and lemon wedges.
