5-Minute Old Bay Seasoning Steamed Shrimp

Mmmmmm old bay seasoning steamed shrimp.

I’m a lover of any and all kinds of shrimp. Are you? I’ll take them any way that I can get them: fried, steamed, boiled, broiled, as my dinner, or even as an appetizer. I just love shrimp that much. What I love so much about these old bay seasoning steamed 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, and dipped in Prawn Cocktail Sauce. Don’t skip out on these my friends or you will be missing out.
