For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a bay leaf or a few sprigs of fresh thyme to the steaming liquid. Don't overcook the shrimp! Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. They are ready when they turn bright pink and opaque. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a side of crusty bread for dipping.
