Instructions: Place half the shrimp in the bottom of a metal steamer rack. Sprinkle with half the mustard, half the thyme and a tiny bit of salt. Top with the remaining shrimp, mustard, thyme and salt.

Steam the shrimp until just firm, about 7 minutes. Move the shrimp around halfway through the cooking time. Garnish with the chopped parsley.

Peel and eat directly out of the steamer basket. Be sure to lick your fingers.

Serves 4 as an appetizer.

Comments: This is messy. You need lots of beer. Eat from papers on the table. Otherwise enjoy a really fine shrimp dish.
