Shrimp - Steamed in Old Bay


Here is another one of those great old recipes that was always on the back of the box, until it wasn't. Thank goodness for the internet! When I was a little girl, steamed shrimp was really expensive and it was saved for a special occasion. We always had it while we watched the Miss America pageant on television. I have no idea why! But the pageant was an annual event that we always looked forward to! Pretty sure it was less about Miss America and more about the shrimp! LOL!!
