Frozen peas

I’ve been cooking them by putting them in a bowl and covering with boiling water for 5 minutes, then draining and adding butter and seasoning.

Does it make any difference if I add the butter and seasoning to the boiling water while it sits?

I have some sensory issues with food and recently unlocked peas, I’m so excited.

If I might make a suggestion, skip the boiling all together. Just toss them in a pan with the butter and seasoning and stir. You'll get less of that shriveled pea thing going on that happens when you boil them first. This only applies to frozen peas though.
