1
Prepare the Shrimp
Rinse the shrimp clusters under cold water and set aside.
2
Prepare the Seasoning
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside. Cut the lemon into wedges for serving.
3
Prepare the Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and add minced garlic and Old Bay seasoning. Stir until combined and fragrant.

4
Steam the Shrimp
Fill a large pot with about 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Place the shrimp clusters in a steamer basket and position it over the boiling water. Cover and steam for approximately 6-8 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.
5
Fry Popcorn Shrimp or Clam Strips (if chosen)
In a separate skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the popcorn shrimp or clam strips and fry until golden brown, about 2-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6
Serve
Once the shrimp are done steaming, remove them from the pot. Arrange the shrimp clusters on a serving platter along with the fried popcorn shrimp or clam strips. Drizzle the garlic butter over the shrimp and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
