Frozen raw shrimp turns bright pink, with solid white flesh, after only 2 minutes in boiling water. Is that really enough time to fully kill all bacteria/pathogens?

Yes... but I fear the first part of your comment takes a tangent into an entirely different realm of the culinary arts, and leaves out a lot of information about the complexities of making raw meats safe to eat!

Yes, as you say: Sushi is certainly very safe to eat in most cases, because of all the effort made to make it safe to eat raw. I eat it all the time from reputable restaurants in my area.

But my comment has nothing to do with eating raw meats!

The eating of raw meats is a whole different topic, in which the raw items have undergone special handling and treatments, such as freezing to extremely low temperatures to kill worms, etc...

INSTEAD:

My comment relates to the safe cooking of regular consumer grade shrimp, in which the handling and sources are not usually all that well known.
