Steamed Shrimp
Bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a large pot fitted with a steamer basket. Add 1 1/4 pounds peeled and deveined large shrimp (tails intact), cover and steam until just opaque, 2 to 4 minutes (they'll finish cooking after you remove them from the heat). Spread out on a platter and refrigerate until cold, or up to 4 hours. Serve with your choice of sauce.
