Spicy Steamed Shrimp

This was so easy and came out soooo great! I stayed pretty true to the recipe; only added 12 beer & vinegar to water for steaming. Eye-balled the Old Bay and came to about 3 tbs like other reviewers had stated. DELISH!!! Thank you Wendi!

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.

like others i cut down on the old bay..i made 2lbs and used 1/4 cup..i used 1 cup of water 12oz beer and 1/2 cup jack daniels to steam!
