Bring the first 5 ingredients to a boil over high heat. Cover and boil 4 minutes. Add the shrimp and remove from heat. Cover the pot and let stand 10 minutes. The shrimp will turn pink and the shell will loosen. Drain and discard the "extra"s so just the shrimp are left. Serve with cocktail sauce or melted butter.
