Spicy Steamed Shrimp Recipes

15-MINUTE SPICY SHRIMP RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the shrimp and the spices.
• Cook until the shrimp are cooked through and opaque, about 5 minutes. If using extra-large shrimp, place them on the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side. For smaller shrimp, cook for a total of about 5 minutes, stirring often.
• Garnish with parsley and serve, on cauliflower rice, mashed cauliflower, or on a bed of green leaves such as spinach or arugula.

SPICY STEAMED SHRIMP

• Steam shrimp until pink.
• Eat by removing shells as you go and dipping in cocktail sauce.

SPICY BEER-STEAMED SHRIMP WITH KICKED UP COCKTAIL SAUCE

Steps:

• In the base pot of a steamer, combine the beer, crab boil, and garlic and bring to a simmer. Put the steamer basket in place.
• In a bowl, toss the shrimp with the Essence. Place the shrimp in the steamer basket, close the lid and steam until the shrimp are firm and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes, stirring the shrimp once to ensure even cooking.
• Remove the basket with the shrimp and let sit until cool enough to handle. Turn out into a large serving bowl or onto a thick layer of newspapers spread on a table. Serve with the cocktail sauce for dipping.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
