The Best Boiled Shrimp: Quick & Easy Recipes

Our founder, Ellen Gefen is here to bring you the best boiled shrimp recipe out there! A native of Savannah, Georgia, Ellen grew up eating fresh seafood year-round, and fresh boiled shrimp is a favorite of ours at TheHome.com. We’re all about trying to capture that coastal feel right at home, so we opt to grab our shrimp from the farmer’s market in North Carolina.

Eat these shrimp right out of the boiler if you’re eating them in the winter time, or put them on some ice and save them for later for a summer treat. Watch to the end for Ellen’s tip on how to perfectly peel shrimp quick and easy!
