Shrimp season:  Starting in May large white roe shrimp are available.  This is can be a very short season(1-3 weeks).  Around the middle of June the smaller but delicious brown shrimp begin.  These shrimp grow in size as the summer progresses.  Toward the middle of August, the brownies start to disappear.  From the end of August to the 1^st of September the white shrimp start to appear in the small to medium size and continue to grow throughout the fall. Shrimp season can end anytime from the middle of December or the 1^st.  part of January.  

Boiling shrimp: Barely cover with water(with spices if desired). 
Small shrimp approximately 1min.

Medium shrimp-approx. 2min

Large shrimp-approx. 3min, or what you know works best for you.

Sauce: My Aunt Jo made the best and the simplest-mix horseradish (found in the refrigerator section of the grocery store) and ketchup.  Add a small amount of horesradish to the ketchup until you get the desired flavor.
