how much you cooking? i usually do 5 pounds for me and the lady. i started doing mine on the stove some old black woman gave me this method. you need a good size pot i use a magnalite 8quart and its plenty for 5 pounds. cut up 2 onions and one bell pepper into bite size pieces these are good to eat when eating the swimps. put that in the pot with some diced garlic and a lil olive oil and cook till onions start to clear. next add a whole stick of butter melt that and then throw your swimps in. cover and let cook for about 5 mins then stir them around and keep cooking and turning them over trying to keep the lid on as much as possible. you dont need any water as the shrimp throw off water. dont overcook them as they get hard to peel. when they turn good redish orange color cut one open and see if its cooked. as far as seasoning i use a good bit of tonys and just a lil salt. i like doing it on the stove cause its quick and dont have to pull out the big pot and burner.
