Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 (12-ounce) bottles lager beer
1 cup water
1 tablespoon shrimp boil seasoning or Creole seasoning mix
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 lemon, juiced, halves reserved
1 stick unsalted butter
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, head and shell left on, rinsed well

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring the beer, water, shrimp boil seasoning, salt, peppercorns and the juiced lemon halves to a boil over medium heat. Allow mixture to boil covered for 10 minutes. In the meantime, melt butter in a small saucepan and add the lemon juice. Add the shrimp to the pot of boiling beer, cover, and turn off heat. Check shrimp after 3 minutes for a pink color throughout. Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp and transfer to serving bowls.
  • Add 1/2 cup of the beer boiling liquid to the butter and simmer for 2 minutes, then transfer to small serving bowls. Serve the warm shrimp with the butter dipping sauce on the side, and don't forget the empty bowls for the shrimp shells. Enjoy!
  • Serving Suggestion: I love a great loaf of French bread with this to sop up the yummy sauce!
