What I love so much about these old bay spiced shrimp is that they literally take less than five minutes to make and are downright delicious.

They are seasoned to perfection with Old Bay seasoning, then steamed for 3-4 minutes in a mixture of water, apple cider vinegar, and the tried and true Old Bay seasoning. Don’t skip out on these my friends or you will be missing out.
