1. Rinse the shrimp before cooking.
2. Put all the court bouillon ingredients into a large stainless-steel saucepan. Bring to a boil, then cover and cook 10 to 15 minutes, at a gentle boil.
3. Add the shriimp all at once, stir to mix them into the broth, and bring it back to a boil over high heat. Cove the pan and cook for only 10 seconds, then remove from the heat. Let the shrimp cool in the covered pan of broth to lukewarm.
