Boiled Shrimp

5 lbs. fresh shrimp
2 packages shrimp boil in boilable bags
Rock salt to taste
1/2 head garlic (separate into buds, each bud split in half)
1 large onion, cut in quarters
2 stalks celery, in chunks
2 lemons, sliced
 
Boil all but shrimp for 15 to 30 minutes.  Remove heads from shrimp and add shrimp to broth.  Cook until there is a break in back center joint of the shrimp tail (4 to 5 minutes).  Drain and serve.
 
This is our friend Stanley Powell's recipe for great boiled shrimp.  He cooked them for the Legal Biddies at St. George Island when we could drag him away from the golf course.
