How to Steam Shrimp - Basic Kitchen Skills

[@kimtomasetti7807]

I have a steamer and didn't even know it!! Thx for the video

[@LetsCelebrateTV]

Make use of every kitchen tool . Thanks for watching and Happy Holidays 🎄🍸🍸

[@airwoof2832]

It is really that easy - ok, I am convinced to try it that way. 👍

[@LetsCelebrateTV]

Go for it! 🍸🍸

Shrimp is a delicate seafood that tastes so much better when steamed rather than boiled. Warm or cold - what seasoning do you like on your shrimp?

[@LetsCelebrateTV]

I like my steaming water to have lemon, light beer and old bay, with a little old bay sprinkled over the shrimp when served. 🍸🍸

[@coreyluv6]

I actually prefer no seasoning, I love the natural taste of the shrimp. The sea taste just has that effect on me. Maybe a few shrimp in then I'll dip some in cocktail sauce

[@LetsCelebrateTV]

@@coreyluv6 I generally do not put seasoning on the actual shrimp, but season the water for the steam 🍸🍸

[@jilljank9274]

Lincoln, NE After steaming, how long do you cool before taking shells & tail off? Do you rinse with water after that? If adding to a hot pasta dish do you add shrimp just be serving to avoid overcoming the shrimp?

[@LetsCelebrateTV]

Great question!! If you steam them with the shells on, you want to let the cool long enough that you can handle them safely. Don't rinse, that will wash away all the flavor. If you're adding them to a dish, you can add them right before serving if they're already steamed. Alternatively, you can steam them without the shell if you choose, or you can cook them in whatever sauce you're using on the pasta as well. Just take the shells and tail off before adding them. Thanks for watching!

Peter Lee, this is the first time seeing your videos and I really appreciate the clear end simple instructions on how to make steam shrimp. I also like the alternative to the steamer and hope I can find something I can used to try this now. I think I’ll subscribe because I’m not much of a cook and hope you can help me.

[@LetsCelebrateTV]

Thank you and you hit the nail on the head for the reason we started this channel - you can do it, you just need a little guidance and motivation 🍸🍸

[@RVKevin]

I am noticing a pattern of cocktails and food 😎. It is easy to forget and leave that food on the counter. Haha, no scrolling ? Nice video guys.

[@LetsCelebrateTV]

And you think we call it Let's Celebrate TV for a reason. You can tip a cocktail or glass of wine anywhere - including a travel trailer - just sayin ... 🍸🍸

Let us know how it turns out. Welcome to LCTV 🍸🍸

[@draubasmr297]

My parents used to stick the shrimp inside the water itself and boil it, no one ever ate it and they always got livid 😂

[@LetsCelebrateTV]

We agree that steaming shrimp is the best way.

[@adpowell612]

Absolutely love you. I’m inspired I can make the perfect steam shrimp.

[@chuckschillingvideos]

It's a lot better if you add Old Bay (and I like to add salt and pepper as well) on top of the shrimp in addition to your seasoning additions in the boil fluid.

[@LetsCelebrateTV]

I agree, but remember the video is about the basic of how to steam shrimp and not over cook it. Thanks for watching 🍸

[@billbaxter4858]

I love spicy shrimp - bring on the hot sauce.

[@jheckmann]

Now that we have steamed shrimp... how about some cocktail sauce recipes?

[@LetsCelebrateTV]

Sounds likes a good one for "Basic Skills Day" since in the end it is mostly ketchup and horseradish. 🍸

[@skillz3259]

Making this right now can you steam marinated shrimp

[@LetsCelebrateTV]

Marinated shrimp will usually be partially cooked by the acid in the marinate. So yes, but cut the time in half

[@skillz3259]

@@LetsCelebrateTV it turned out amazing and juicy

WHAT IS THE TYPE OF SMALL ONE BURNER COUNTER -TOP GAS COOKER YOU ARE USING IN THIS VIDEO?

[@LetsCelebrateTV]

This is a butane burner. Very popular for buffets and you see them in online cooking shows as it allows the host to not turn his back on the audience to work on the stove. They can be as cheap as $50 and as high as $150 with power (BTU) being the deciding factor. We are using a high end one here: amzn.to/48ufKCz 🍸🍸

[@kenm2501]

I'm sorry but I don't see the link for the double burner or steamer....

[@LetsCelebrateTV]

It is in the full video description, but I copied it here: === 📢 PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE === Oster Steamer Pot - geni.us/steamer_pot

[@mikemarcus8676]

What about steaming more than 1 pound of shrimp at a time?

[@LetsCelebrateTV]

Great question! You can if you have a big enough steamer. Thanks for watching!

[@primadonnaqueen3685]

that's so fucking easy. Thanks for explaining it very simply!

[@LetsCelebrateTV]

Thanks for watching and welcome to LCTV 🍸

[@thorneytorkelson40]

That’s a lot of Old Bay seasoning. I’m not sure why you’d use it here.

[@LetsCelebrateTV]

It is used to flavor the water that steams the shrimp.

[@wjrasmussen666]

this was just bad and kind of condescending. "this is a steamer"...
