No recipe, I just eyeball it. Sometimes I use lemon, sometimes
vinegar. I'd say the juice of 1/4 lemon or 1t vinegar per quart or
two of water. You have to be careful not to over acidulate the water
or the shrimp will taste like lemon or vinegar. Short soak (less than
5 minutes) in the acidulated water, longer soak (maybe 10 minutes) in
salted water. I don't time the soaking either because I am doing
other things while I do that.
