On steamed shrimp: Because of an incorrect diagnosis of shellfish allergies, I've only been eating steamed shrimp for about two months. I'm like a little kid. The excitement of being able to order steamed shrimp from a menu is overwhelming.

On steamed shrimp "A good shrimp is one that is of good size, perfectly steamed and adequately seasoned. However... a restaurant may have fantastic shrimp, but if it is accompanied by a bland cocktail sauce, it takes away. And let's face it, price matters."

On steamed shrimp "Shrimp is a critter that doesn't need to be fooled around with much to be delicious, just steam, maybe a little Old Bay, beer if ya want."

Nominated Lido Inn, but I also love my sister-in-law Bobbie's recipe of steaming shrimp in beer with a ton of Old Bay Seasoning.
On steamed shrimp "Steamed shrimp is such a social food, one to eat around a table with a group of friends and/or family. Growing up, our family vacation was a week at Sandbridge and we would always have a big, messy steamed shrimp night. It was so much fun!"
