Ingredients
- 1 kg raw unpeeled prawns - Try get head on ones as I have a great way to use them up coming next week!
- 1 lemon
- 1 ½ tablespoon Old Bay seasoning (get my homemade recipe)
For the cocktail sauce.
- 8 tablespoon tomato ketchup (get my homemade recipe)
- 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning (get my homemade recipe)
- 4 tablespoon mayonnaise (get my homemade recipe)
Instructions
For the Shrimp
- If your prawns have heads on remove them. (Store them in a zip lock bag in the freezer. You'll thank me next week!)
- Place a large pan on the hob and add about 700ml of water and the juice from the lemon. (see notes)
- Bring the water to the boil and then place a steamer or colander over the water.
- Add the shrimp and sprinkle them with 1 tablespoon of the old bay seasoning.
- Add a lid and steam the shrimp for 3 minutes.
- Remove the lid and give the shrimps a stir. Place the lid back on and cook for a further 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are a beautiful orange colour. (The exact time will depend on the size of your shrimp)
- Remove the steamer/colander from the pan and sprinkle over the remaining seasoning.
- Toss the shrimp so they are all well covered.
- Enjoy the shrimp hot or cold.
- Just make sure you keep all the shells. (Just stick them in the zip bag with the heads. All will become clear I promise x)
For the cocktail sauce.
- Mix together the ketchup, mayonnaise and the old bay seasoning. (Yup that's it ;-) )
Notes
- You want enough water to ensure the pan won't dry out during steaming, but not so much that the bottom of your steamer/colander is under water.
