Cooking tips

Do not seal the steamer lid completely when steaming—the steam pressure can cause the shrimp to twist out of shape, so keep the lid slightly open.
Over-steaming will make the shrimp tough and dry, so remove them immediately once the flesh turns bright red and white—this ensures tenderness.
