I have a big frozen 5lb bag of the jumbo shrimp from the recent Mckays seafood sale and I want to steam them for Thanksgiving. I have gotten in the habit in the past years of letting the stores steam them for me. Now I have to cook them. No problem!!!?? I grabbed the Old Bay can but that recipe calls for boiling!! I think I used to steam them something like I do crabs. Any of you marylanders got any suggestions?? Thanks!

How You Doing?
I have a suggestion.
I suggest you invite me over when you eat them.

Do you have a steamer basket that you can use in large pot?
The pickling spice sounds like that may be the seasoning Mckays uses. Do you know if it is? I do see dill in it. Where do I get it? Thanks.
That will work, but use a metal stainer basket if you have one.
Pickling spice is in the spice isle in the store, buy one of those folding steamers you can put in the bottom of the pot, they are very inexpensive. Use the Old Bay and Pickling spice, makes it so much better

You can also use "shrimp Boil". It's just like pickling spices. Old bay, JO & McCormick all make shrimp boil. It's in a small box.
Put the shrimp in a steamer. Add old bay & Shrimp boil (the boil will be in a mesh bag, open the bag and dump on top of the shrimp).
Like we really care?
