I would just squeeze half a lemon while it is in the steamer. Otherwise, a very good dish.

This is a pretty good start, however needs some improving in my opinion. The Old Bay called for is way too much - also, when steaming the shrimp, make sure to "steam" - not boil them. Use a colander inside a large saucepan. I make mine using 12oz. of beer such as Fat Tire Amber Ale or Corona, about 3/4 cup of water, 3T Old Bay and 1/4 white vinegar - bring to a fast boil and reduce to simmer. I also sprinkle a little Old Bay and Zatarain's Blackened Seasoning and a bit of Lemon Pepper over the shrimp - then into the colander (over the gently boiling beer/water/vinegar) they go. Cover and steam depending on size of shrimp. I use fairly large size and will keep the liquid on a low boil so the shrimp steam just until tails begin to curl. Chill or serve immediately.

I steam shrimp in beer, add some Old Bay coating the shrimp, then add 2 tablespoons of pickling spices, then steam cook for about 5-6 mins for 2 lbs of shrimp.

I had never fixed shrimp like this before and I'm telling you this is the way to fix em. We do not have a steamer basket so here is how we did it. I put the water in the tall pasta pot, then I got the collander to put the shrimp in, then I set the collander on top of the pot and it fit down in there perfectly. This worked great. Also, I only used about 3T of Old Bay. It was messy to eat, but it reminded me of being at the beach on vacation. Now I know how to steam shrimp.

Perfect! I used frozen store brand shrimp, let them thaw under cool water in the sink, and added them to the pot of steaming water. It doesn't take long for them to cook up just right!

Good, easy recipe. I agree that 3 oz of Old Bay is quite a lot; I cut it down to 1 oz and then kick it up a little with additional cayenne. I make my own cocktail sauce (super easy), add some sourdough bread, butter and we have a great Summer meal. I usually make this ahead of time and we take it with us when we goout on the Sacramento Delta for an overnight.

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!

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.
