Step 1

Prepare Shrimp by de-veining them. Leave the tails on.

Sprinkle a generous amount of Old Bay seasoning on shrimp and toss to cover well. Set aside.

In the bottom of your steamer, mix beer, celery seed and 1/2 tablespoon of Old Bay. Bring to boil on medium heat.

Lay shrimp in your steaming basket and sit on top of boiling liquid.
