Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Shrimp

    Rinse the large shrimp under cold water to remove any debris. Pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Steaming Pot

    In a large pot, add 1 quart of water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and prepare to steam.

Seasoning the Shrimp

  1. 3

    Season the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with 3 tablespoons of Old Bay seasoning and 1 tablespoon of salt. Toss to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated.

Steaming

  1. 4

    Steam the Shrimp

    Place the seasoned shrimp in a steamer basket or on a steaming rack above the simmering water. Cover with a lid and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve the Shrimp

    Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the steamer and transfer them to a serving platter. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley.
