Blanched items: In a medium sized pot of boiling water, quickly blanch the spinach for a few seconds then drain in a colander, rinse under cold running water, and let it drip dry or gently squeeze out excess water. Set aside. Use the same pot of boiling water to quickly blanch shrimp until the color of the shrimp just starts to turn pink. Rinse under cold running water and set aside.

Soft boiled eggs: In a medium sized pot of boiling water, carefully add 2-3 eggs to the boiling water. Cook the eggs over medium heat in the simmering water for 7 minutes. Gently push and move the eggs around in the pot to ensure even cooking on all sides. Remove and place the eggs in an ice bath of water until they are chilled and cool to touch. Gently tap the eggs and peel under cold running water. Slice in half right before serving.
