Does vinegar make shrimp easier to peel?

Don’t forget the secret ingredient in the boil: apple cider vinegar. It makes the shrimp easier to peel.

How do you get the most flavor out of shrimp?

You need plenty of seasoning on top of the olive oil and butter. I add plenty of salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, lemon juice etc. Shrimp have a mild flavor so they take on whatever flavor you’re serving them with. I also love using a seafood seasoning that has everything listed above plus more!!
