Simple Steamed Royal Red Shrimp
Report
This recipe will work with both royal red shrimp and spot prawns. Both cook more quickly than regular shrimp. Serve this with the sauce of your choice.

Ingredients
- 1 pound royal red shrimp or spot prawns, shells on if possible.
- Sauce of your choice
Instructions
- Set a steamer insert into a lidded pot. If you don't have one, you can put the shrimp in a colander, or you can use a Chinese steamer if you have one. Pour in enough water so you can steam, but not enough to get the shrimp wet. Cover the pot and turn the heat to high.
- When the water boils, put the shrimp into the steamer, cover the pot again and let this steam at full bore for 4 minutes. Turn off the heat, remove the shrimp and serve, peel and eat style.
- NOTE: If you can't get shell-on shrimp, decrease the steaming time by a minute.
Notes
- I love either an avocado-tomatillo salsa or a Spanish saffron aioli with steamed shrimp.
