INSTRUCTIONS
Place the shrimp, shells on, in a shallow porcelain bowl. Add the remaining
ingredients and toss about. Place the bowl in a hot bamboo steamer and
steam about 5 to 7 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and barely firm. Stir
the shrimp once during the cooking to make sure they cook evenly. Peel and
eat, or eat them, shell and all.
Comments: Here is a fine steamed dish that takes only a few minutes to
prepare. You really should buy a Chinese bamboo steamer set, because metal
steamers will drip water on your food and dilute the flavors.
