For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sliced lemon and a few sprigs of fresh thyme to the water while steaming. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery. They are done when they turn pink and opaque. Serve with extra napkins – things might get messy! If you don't have a steamer basket, you can improvise by using a colander placed inside the pot, ensuring it doesn't touch the water.
