    I rearranged the shrimp after 2 minutes to encourage even cooking. It was so good last weekend that we're doing it again this weekend. But this time, I bought more shrimp. #delicious

    Yes, You Can microwave and Steam Shrimp – Longmeadow Farm, You are never too old to learn new tricks Sometimes I must appear as a gentle dog, I go along thinking that I can and will do some recipes that same ol’ way, day after day, week after week You know, you’ve probably been there yourself One recent holiday, the statement turned out to be the truest statement that I have come to know Well one of many true statements I have come to know anyway, jumping back into the story I was buzzing along like a honey bee running back to the old bee hive stuck up inside the old shed, and blow me down with a piece of paper towel, I forgot to steam the shrimp! Our guests would soon be arriving, and they expected well food And lots of it too All four burners were covered with various foods whistling away, and the oven was packed up like the attic after Christmas I had 2 pounds of fresh shrimp that I had purchased the day before to be made today! Was wondering for a moment what I should do I could sit on them as a mother hen who is warming the underside her great berth, or, I could use the microwave Nah No Nada Not gonna do this I don’t want the shrimp to be like an old farm tire that has lost its usefulness Ok well, I’ll try it Holy confetti Jumping Joe Flat It worked! Euphoria set upon the house that stood on Longmeadow Farm and people started smacking their lips, yelping, and a joyous uproar could be heard from the house that special Holiday eve Now, don’t go saying you can’t microwave shrimp, cause this might make you change your mind , I rearranged the shrimp after 2 minutes to encourage even cooking It was so good last weekend that we’re doing it again this weekend But this time, I bought more shrimp #delicious, Isnt this more boiled than steamed?
