Steaming works for both fresh and frozen shrimp
You'll need a steamer basket that fits comfortably inside a pot with a lid.
03
Fill the pot with about 1 inch of water, ensuring the steamer basket won't touch the water directly.
Marinate or season your shrimp with your favorite spices or herbs before steaming
05
Bring the water in the pot to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, carefully place the seasoned shrimp in a single layer in the steamer basket.
07
Cover the pot with a lid and steam the shrimp for 2-4 minutes, depending on size
Check for doneness after 2 minutes. Shrimp should be opaque and pink but not rubbery
09
Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the steamer basket and let them rest for a minute before serving
Sprinkle the honey walnut shrimp with candied walnuts for a delightful textural contrast.
