Dad used to say that people came from six feet around to eat his
shrimp. Trust me, they came from everywhere...this is so good...and
so easy to make. Just make sure you don't overcook the shrimp or
they get tough.
DAD'S STEAMED SHRIMP
3/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup water
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1-1/2 teaspoons celery seed
1 tablespoon dry mustard
2 tablespoons Old Bay seafood seasoning
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
5 pounds large shrimp, shells on
Cocktail sauce (recipe below)
Place first seven ingredients into a pot which will also be large enough
to hold the shrimp. Bring to boil.
Stir in half the shrimp. Cook, stirring constantly, just until all
the shrimp have turned pink. Remove quickly with slotted spoon to platter.
Repeat with remaining shrimp.
Serve with cocktail sauce. Eat hot or cold or any temperature in
between.
Cocktail Sauce
1 cup ketchup
1 cup chili sauce
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons sugar
horseradish, to taste
Combine all ingredients. Serve with shrimp.
