Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steamer

    Fill a pot with 1 cup of water and bring it to a simmer. Place a steamer basket over the pot, ensuring it does not touch the water.

  2. 2

    Season the Shrimp

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, minced garlic, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly.

  3. 3

    Steam the Shrimp

    Place the seasoned shrimp in the steamer basket, cover with a lid, and steam for about 5-7 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the shrimp from the steamer, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
