In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Fill a large pot with enough water to completely cover the amount of shrimp you wish to thaw. Place it on a stovetop burner at medium-high heat and allow the water to come to a boil. Once the water is boiling, carefully place your frozen shrimp in the water. Allow them to sit in the boiling water for 1 minute. If your shrimp are stuck together, separate them before placing them in the boiling water. Turn off your burner. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp from the boiling water. Place the shrimp on a paper or kitchen towel and pat them dry. Boiling your shrimp for 1 minute does not cook them, it simply defrosts them, so be sure to thoroughly cook your shrimp before eating them.
Summary: Boil water in a large pot. Add the shrimp to the water and leave them for 1 minute. Remove the shrimp from the boiling water. Pat the shrimp dry before cooking them.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you jump right into dating your ex when the ink on your divorce is still wet, you or your partner might still feel hurt, betrayed, or angry about whatever occurred between you which culminated in your divorce.  Depending on your specific situation, the two of you might not feel at peace with your past for five years or more.  On the other hand, you might feel comfortable dating again after just one year.  Be honest with yourself and expect your partner to do the same when you renew your romantic relationship with them after a divorce. Asking your ex for a date is little different than asking any other woman for a date, with the useful exception that you already know her.  However, before asking her out, be sure that she is open to the idea.  Inquire through mutual friends or intermediaries what her feelings are about you.  If you’re still in regular contact with her, broach the subject gingerly.  Inquire, for instance, “Do you think there’s any chance we could rebuild our relationship?”  If she replies in the affirmative, move forward with the dating process.  One of the good things about dating your ex-wife is that you already know just what to say to make her interested in going out with you.  Think about her favorite restaurants, bands, and activities, and inform her that you have tickets or reservations at the venue in question. Use your knowledge of her sense of humor when asking her out.  For instance, if her favorite band is Great Band, you might jokingly say, “I’m pretty busy this weekend.  I have two tickets to the Great Band concert on Saturday.  Couldn’t find anyone to go with me.  Oh, well!  I’m going to make a ton of money scalping this extra ticket!” At that point, she will probably be very excited to go out with you again.  If she is not, however, don’t feel too badly.  She is probably just not at the stage where she feels comfortable dating you again.  Be patient when attempting to date your ex. Do not date your ex out of loneliness.  Similarly, do not date your ex simply because he or she is very familiar to you.  Date your ex only because you believe that you two are compatible together and are capable of a new relationship of mutual love and respect.  Search your feelings and be honest with both yourself when determining why you want to date your ex. Negative relationship patterns are those behaviors or attitudes which repeatedly result in conflict or complaint on the part of you or your partner.  While you cannot change your partner, you can change yourself.  Avoid extreme positions like “I will never ___” or exaggerated accusations like “You never/always ____.” For instance, if your ex spends a lot at the grocery store, don’t say “You always spend too much on groceries we don’t need.”  Instead, explain in a clear, calm tone “I don’t think we should be spending so much on groceries, they always go bad before we can eat them all.” While all relationships have both good and bad times, re-engineering your relationship with your ex requires that on balance, you have more good times than bad. Sometimes we become so familiar with someone’s ideas and beliefs that we tune them out when they speak because we think we know what the are going to say, or because we think we’ve heard it all before.  When you’re dating your ex, to make the relationship work you will need to adjust the way you communicate, starting with your listening skills.   Couples often fall into certain communication styles or habits and have a hard time breaking them.  Date your ex-spouse with an open mind and try to hear their point of view anew, as if for the first time.  Since you and your ex have spend a significant amount of time apart, chances are you both have changed.  Hear them out. Do not interrupt your spouse when they are critiquing you or offering advice.  Listen to everything they have to say and speak only after they are done speaking.
Summary: Wait a reasonable amount of time before dating your ex. Ask your ex for a date. Date your ex for the right reasons. Break your negative relationship patterns. Listen to your ex-spouse.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Your first step should be to try to work out a solution to your living arrangements by talking face-to-face. Be honest with your girlfriend about wanting her to move out. If there are problems in your relationship, chances are she feels this tension too and will not be too surprised to hear that you want her to move out. Discuss reasonable options with her and try to come to a consensus.  Take some time before initiating the conversation to brainstorm a few ideas to present. Think about if she has a friend or family member she could stay with, or if you're willing to continue living together until she finds a new living situation. Don't tell her what to do — rather, offer a few possibilities. Say something like, “I know that we thought that moving in together would be a good idea but it just doesn’t seem to be working. Since the apartment was originally mine, I was thinking it would be best if you were the one to move out.” You will likely need to have a few conversations about how you will proceed. If the first conversation about moving is taking place right when you break up, it will likely be difficult for her to make decisions. Allow her some time to process and come to terms with what is happening. If there are children involved, this is definitely the preferred method. You should consider the best living situation for the kids. There is a huge financial burden in moving. She may need a security deposit on a new apartment and utilities. She may also need a moving truck and some furniture. Since this was a mutual relationship, it might be unfair to lay the entire financial obligation of a separation on your girlfriend’s shoulders. Consider splitting the financial costs of moving.  To determine if such a financial split is fair or necessary, think about how much the two of you make. If you make the same or more money than her, it might be unreasonable to ask her to bear the entire burden of a move. If she makes considerably more money than you, there may be no need to help financially. Another option is to allow her to continue living with you while she saves up money for a security deposit and other expenses. The act of moving things out can be difficult to deal with. She might even need help to physically move some of the bigger items out (like a couch). She will need manpower to make the move happen. Offer to help her move large pieces of furniture and boxes to her new space.  If you are breaking up, your physical assistance may not be welcomed. If you are on good terms, however, asking a few friends to help out may make things less awkward and speed up the process.
Summary:
Have a face-to-face conversation. Offer her financial assistance. Be willing to provide physical assistance.
