A simple guide to cooking shrimp:
When the shrimp have turned pink in color they are cooked.
It might seem weird, but shrimp cook fast. Think about how fast something very small cooks. If you have a piece of meat the size of a thimble and you put it in boiling water it will cook in seconds. Now if you put a piece in the size of a footbal it would take much longer. It's the same principle how long it takes to cook a thick burger and a thin burger. Think how long it would take to cook meat the size of peas. It would cook as soon as it hit the water.
If you put s 25-30 count shrimp into boiling water the inside of the shrimp will become very hot in a few seconds. So you aren't cooking the meat like boiling muskrats. It only has to reach high temperature.
So experiment. Take a shrimp and dip it into a pot of boiling water and see if a small shrimp won't become very hot in a minute. For a large shrimp it might take 3 minutes. But the thing is having boiling water that when the shrimp are dumped in it doesn't lower the water temperature. If you dump five pounds of shrimp into one gallon of boiling water it will take 20 minutes to cook.
It depends on how you cook them, but shrimp cook very quickly---in 3 to 7 minutes, usually. Shrimp are cooked when they turn pink. Don't overcook them because it makes them a little rubbery.
25 to 30 count shrimp if you put unfrozen shrimp a pound in a gallon of boiling water it takes about one minute. All you are doing is getting it hot. 15 to 20 count maybe 2 minutes. To experiment take a piece of steak the size of a shrimp and put it in boiling water and see how long it takes to cook. The problem is you can't add five pounds of shrimp to a gallon of water. It lowers the temperature. Experiment with the shrimp, but it doesn't take five minutes to cook shrimp. Some people say add five pounds of shrimp to a couple gallons of boiling water and when it comes back to a boil it's done. They continue to cook after you take the shrimp out of the water.
Raw shrimp cook quickly, it should take about 5 minutes in a steamer or until the shrimp turn red and opaque. They have their own "done" indicator....do not cook too long as they will get rubbery if overcooked.
When they turn from grey to pink, they're done.
Only about 5 minutes. Keep an eye on them and when shells are pink and the flesh is white they are done.
five or six hours
Sure... but it will more then likely be over cooked. Shrimp does not take long to cook. Your shrimps texture may be a little tough. But YES, you can fry pre-cooked shrimp.
Shrimp have a very short attention span, lasting only a few seconds to a few minutes. They primarily focus on finding food and avoiding predators in their environment.
Laitram machines are used to de-head and de-vein shrimp. These machines can also peel, steam, and chill shrimp.
Shrimp cannot stay out for very long before it goes bad. It is recommended that cooked shrimp stay out no longer than an hour and a half.
Ghost shrimp can grow up to 1-1/2".
steam until tender

um ... what river?
As long as the heads are not spoiled, the dogs will enjoy the shrimp head will no ill effects.
It depends on the size of the shrimp. If the shrimp is smaller or the same size as the frog, the frog will probably try to eat it. If the shrimp is large you should be OK, as long as your frog is well fed.
about 35 mins but why would you steam a burger
The size of a shrimp should be about 2-4 in. The size of a shrimp should be about 2-4 in.
