Things You'll Need
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup white or apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp. Old Bay Seasoning
1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
Steaming is one of the simplest, most effective methods of preparing shrimp. All you need is a bit of liquid and a pot to cook perfectly tender shrimp every time. Add extra flavor to steamed shrimp by incorporating Old Bay Seasoning into the process. Old Bay is a blend of spices such as pepper, cloves and paprika that is traditionally used to season seafood. Old Bay steamed shrimp is most often served as shrimp cocktail. Arrange the steamed shrimp around a dish of cocktail sauce for an effortless appetizer.
