They are both exceedingly simple, as I don't like to waste much time before eating. STEAMED: I prefer steamed to boiled, no chance of sogginess. I use a vegetable steamer and simply boil until pink (maybe 5 min.). I have used crab boil in the water to jazz it up a bit. SCAMPI: Simply peel, slice down the middle if the shrimp are big, not necessary if they aren't, and fry in butter with a dose of garlic.
