Ingredients

Directions

Combine beer, seafood seasoning, and salt in a large stockpot or saucepan over medium-high heat; squeeze in juice from lemon halves, adding both rinds. Stir; bring to a boil. Cover the pot; boil for 10 minutes.

Add shrimp to boiling liquid, cover the pot, and remove from heat. Transfer shrimp to serving bowls when shells bright pink and meat opaque, about 3 minutes.

Cook’s Note

You can use your favorite shellfish boil seasoning instead of Old Bay, if desired.

Get head-on shrimp if you can. And if you use frozen, make sure they are completely thawed before cooking.
