Excellent and simple. For timing, I always stop cooking shrimp before they curl all the way (for ANY shrimp recipe, whether steamed, sauteed, baked, or broiled.) Otherwise they may be hard to peel and chewy.

Steamed shrimp with Old Bay is a Maryland-must! You don't necessarily need 3oz. of Old Bay, but sprinkle to evenly coat the shrimp. Add about half a beer (the more aromatic, the better) to the water for a great flavor.

This was so easy and oh so good. I used spice island seafood seasoning instead of the old bay because I didn't have any old bay. Thanks for posting. This is so much better than boiling.

This is a great recipe that I've used many times. Now, if you really want to kick it up a notch, throw in some eggs (still in the shell) and corn on the cob to steam along with the shrimp - you'll have a complete meal!

I also added fresh lemons while cooking. Served with cocktail sauce. So good.

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 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.

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.

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

This was actually pretty good. Very fast too. Less mess than doing a boil but I still prefer to have it boiled cajun style. I like this and I will do it again. It is great to do when you don't have to cook a ton of it for a group. Perfect recipe for doing a small batch of shrimp. For some added kick, I sprinkle a little cayenne directly on the shrmip as well. Thanks for the recipe!

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!
