Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Raw large shrimp (shell-on, deveined)
- 24 ounces Beer (lager or pale ale)
- 4 cups Water
- 3 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
- 1 medium Lemon (sliced)
- 4 large Garlic cloves (smashed)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- n/a Cocktail sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and set them aside to drain.
In a large stockpot, combine the beer, water, Old Bay seasoning, lemon slices, garlic, and salt. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the liquid is boiling, add the shrimp to the pot. Stir gently to ensure the shrimp are submerged in the broth.
Reduce the heat to medium and let the shrimp cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a serving platter. Drizzle the melted butter over the shrimp and sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges and optional cocktail sauce for dipping.
