How to Cook Shrimp - Poaching in Chicken Stock | Perfectly Juicy Shrimp Techniques

In a large pot, combine water, lemon slices, garlic, black peppercorns, bay leaf, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.

Add the shrimp to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

Remove the pot from heat and let the shrimp sit in the poaching liquid for an additional 2 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a serving platter.

Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Serve warm or chilled, as desired.
