Directions
Insert steamer rack into sauce pan.
Pour 1 cup water and 2 tablespoons vinegar into pan.
The liquid should not rise above the bottom of the steamer.
Add more water and vinegar if needed.
Combine the seasonings (crab or shrimp boil) and salt in a small bowl.
Place shrimp on the steamer in layers, sprinkling each layer with the seasoning.
Bring to a boil, then cover, and steam 3 to 4 minutes.
About the boil - can substitute ground allspice but check label.
If it's the mixture, adjust other spices.
You could substitute ground spices, where possible.
Grind the spices into a fine powder using a mini-food mill, coffee grinder, or mortar and pestle.
