A shrimp cooking apparatus has a frame having a motor driven endless belt conveyor with a porous endless belt supported to the frame. A housing covers a portion of the porous endless belt and is supported on the frame and has an entrance thereinto and an exit therefrom. A steam pipe is connected to a source of steam at one end thereof and to a plurality of steam manifolds connected beneath the surface of the porous endless conveyor belt. Each of the manifolds has a plurality of openings therein to release steam directly under the porous endless belt to thereby apply heat and pressure to the shrimp on the endless belt in the housing. A solenoid valve is connected to each steam manifold to control the release of steam from the manifold and sensors are placed in the housing for sensing heat in the housing. Cool water is sprayed on the shrimp leaving the housing to stop the cooking of the shrimp more precisely and sensing means are used to sense the heat in the housing so that the shrimp can be cooked to a predetermined degree. An alternate embodiment is made for shipboard use having a plurality of porous endless belts, one dumping onto the other, and a separate conveyor for lifting the shrimp onto the top conveyor belt.
