Add the garlic, bay leaf, pepper, salt, and Cajun seasoning to the shrimp. Bring the liquid to a rolling boil. Add shrimp to steamer basket and cook until pink throughout. Remove to a bowl and refrigerate until ready.

Using tongs or a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate. Allow them to cool by placing them in the refrigerator.

Make the Salad
