Stubb's Legendary Texas Bar-B-Q Beef, Pork, Turkey & More

Ingredients:

Directions:

Serves: 1-2

Bring water, rub, and salt to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 3-5 minutes for the flavors to blend. (Watch that it doesn't boil over.)
Return the liquid to a boil. Submerge the shrimp. As soon as the shrimp start to curl (1-3 minutes, depending on size and degree of doneness desired), lift them out and drain them on a tray in a single layer. For best results, the shrimp should be slightly undercooked but firm. Do not rinse or you'll wash away the flavors. Let cool. Use immediately, or store covered and refrigerated.

Variations and serving suggestions:

Curried Poached Shrimp: Replace allspice with 2 teaspoons curry powder.
Mild Spiced Rice: Strain and save the poaching liquid. Use it for cooking rice, which results in a pleasantly mild spiced flavor, but without a detectable shrimp taste. (Do not serve to patrons with shellfish allergies.)

Note: When increasing the recipe, cook the shrimp in batches so they cook evenly.
