Really quick and easy! We did this instead of instructions on seasoning box and think it's better this way! A quick rinse under cold water gets most messy stuff off and shrimp is still spicy. Kids didn't appreciate, means more for us! Thanks for great recipe!

THIS IS A 5 STAR RECIPE WITH SOME CHANGES YOU REALLY DO NOT NEED BUT A CUP OF WATER AND ABOUT A 1/4 CUP OF OLD BAY I PUT MY OLDBAY ON TOP OF MY SHRIMP AND THEN STEAMED ALSO I ADDED ABOUT A 1/4 CUP OF BEER TO WATER TO STEAM IN, COOKED UNTIL JUST PINK, DO NOT OVERCOOK OR SHRIMP WILL BE RUBBERY.

Hey, a Marylander here, I have to say, this is a tried and true technique. Steaming versus boiling. Great!

I hate to stray from the recipe, but 3 ounces of Old Bay is a whole small jar! I just used 3 T of the seasoning and it was still super spicy. I could really only taste the Old Bay and not the shrimp.

Good! I didn't add quite as much Old Bay as recipe stated (seemed like alot). I also added a little white distilled vinegar to the water.

This recipe was easier and much cheaper then go to the local fish market and buying steamed shrimp.

This was a nice tasting recipe. I would have liked it to have a few more seasonings than just old bay, but it was much better than boiling the shrimp. Thanks for a good recipe. I will keep looking for one that has other seasonings added to it though.
