How Long Do You Have To Boil Shrimp?
Shrimp typically only needs to be boiled for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink and begins to float to the surface. Overcooking shrimp can make it tough and rubbery, so it’s important to monitor the shrimp closely while boiling. Additionally, larger shrimp may need slightly longer to cook than smaller shrimp.
