Not all that flavorful and our shrimp turned out way overdone. I'm not a great cook and am not exactly sure what "steam until tender" means. Are you supposed to keep the shrimp on the heat or take off the heat and just leave the cover on? I think I left the heat on medium low for the 5 minutes and that could have been how I ruined it. I love the idea of shrimp like this, so please post and let me know what I did wrong. Thanks!

This shrimp is the ultimate summer appetizer! I double the amount of Old Bay and add a half stick of butter to the mix, this adds flavor and allows the Old Bay to adhere to the shrimp. Find nioce large shrimp deveined in the shell. Serve this with the sauce fron the "Chicken the Old Bay Way" recipe from this site, and Club crackers or saltines to soak up the extra broth and sauce. The only thing you need to add to this recipe is an ice cold beer or sangria!
