Amongst the signs of spring in these parts is the stripped shrimps. Maybe a month each year we get these pretty, nice sized and sweet shrimps live in the markets. Like most shellfish, I find it best and easiest to steam it simply. Here I have one pound in the steamer and steam for no more than 5 minutes. The meat of this kind of shrimp is on the firm side so it is best not to steam too long. After eating the meat with a little dip of light soy sauce and chili oil, I simmer the head and shells into a rich stock as usual.
