Directions: |
Directions:Add beer & water to the bottom of a steaming pot and bring to low but steady boil
Put shrimp and onion into the top section of the steamer pot (with holes) and arrange so that some of the holes can be seen on the bottom (this allows more steam to circulate)
Sprinkle the shrimp with half of the old bay and all of the celery seed - give a quick stir
Put the top section onto the bottom section with boiling beer and cover.
Let cook about 3 minutes, then stir the shrimp to re-arrange, and sprinkle on the remaining Old Bay.
Cover and cook another 3 - 5 minutes (the more shrimp, the longer it will take) or until the shrimp are pink. Do not over cook.
Put shrimp in a bowl and serve with Cocktail Sauce.

Notes: I buy my shrimp frozen and defrost them in cold water, changing the water often. This adds about 30 minutes to the process.
I prefer the large or extra large, 26-30 per pound, sized shrimp.
I never buy the jumbo shrimp 16-20 per pound because they get tough.
I usually get them without the head, de-veined and with a split shell (ez-peel).
