Recipe - Vinegar Steamed Shrimp

1 One half pound Medium shrimp
1 cup Water
1 tablespoon Cider vinegar
2 tablespoon Crab Boil
1 tablespoon Salt
Traditional "Boil" makes
about One half cup
2 tablespoon Mustard seed
2 tablespoon Dill seed
2 tablespoon Red pepper flakes
2 Bay leaves; crumbled
One half teaspoon Whole cloves
One half teaspoon All spice, whole
One half teaspoon Black peppercorns
One fourth teaspoon Minced ginger root

About the shrimp raw, shellon, 50 to 60 count per pound. 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 'boil' Substitute ground "all spice" 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 minifood mill,
coffee grinder, or mortar and pestle. There are a variety of commercially
blended seafood boils (check near the bottled artichokes, etc., section).
