Easy easy! I really can't tell any difference by using the microwave as opposed to steaming on the stove. TIP: make sure you cover your bowl so that the butter down't splatter all over the microwave.

Loved this recipe! I made it on the stove as well with partially cooked shrimp from the grocery. Cut down the old bay a little. Absolutely delicious!

Delicious! The 5 of us loved it, including children ages 5, 8 & 10. I did half the amount of Old Bay and thought it was perfect - not too salty but still with a kick. If using the full amount of Old Bay, use unsalted butter or it will be too salty. Thanks for a great recipe!

You can cut the fat/cals by substituting out half of the butter with broth (veggie or chicken, either one..or even just water with bullion). It doesn't affect the flavor too much, and is so much healthier!

Super good and easy. I also sauteed the shrimp in a skillet instead of microwaving it. Good alternative (but a tad more fattening) than steamed shrimp with old bay. Nice twist to the norm.

To make this into a perfectly adaptable camping recipe: I placed the shrimp and the rest of the ingredients on a piece of foil and added garlic and some veggies and replaced the lemon juice with dry white wine. I closed up the foil around the shrimp and cooked in a campfire pit. Quick and easy and everyone LOVED it.

Everyone enjoyed this-I used a little less Old Bay because of the kids and I used the stovetop. I couldn't bring myself to put shrimp in the microwave and I could watch it closer on the stove. Thanks for recipe-I will be making again.

Based on previous reviews, I didn't microwave either. I prepared it on the stovetop and it was great and done in much less time than the recipe calls for.

My husband thought this was just excellent and he is a true shrimp lover who prefers shrimp battered and deep fried. I didn't use the microwave because mine cooks hot and felt I had better control in a saute pan. Reduced Old Bay seasoning just a little.
