Not true. If you look at your can of Old Bay, look at the recipe for
"Steamed Shrimp."

Here it is:
- 2 TBS Old Bay Seasoning
- 1/2 cup vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 lb shrimp, in shells

In saucepan, combine the first 3 ingredients. Bring to a boil. Add shrimp,
stir gently. Cover, steam until tender, about 3-5 minutes. Drain; remove
shells.

This is how I cook shrimp except I'll stir the shrimp once again while
cooking. Half of the shrimp is being boiled while the other half is being
steamed. It's good. The half boiling method gets plenty of the flavor onto
the shrimp.
