Ingredients

3 pounds shell-on medium shrimp
4 (12 ounce) cans pilsner-style beer
3 tablespoons paprika
1 ⅛ cups white vinegar
2 tablespoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
2 tablespoons celery seed
3 teaspoons celery salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

Rinse shrimp under cold running water and set in a strainer to drain.
Meanwhile, add beer, paprika, vinegar, seafood seasoning, celery seed, celery salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to a large pot over high heat. Bring to a boil and add shrimp. Immediately turn off the heat and let cool on the stovetop for about 1 hour. Cover the pot and transfer to the top shelf of the refrigerator, placing it on top of a thick towel. Let shrimp soak for 12 to 24 hours.
Drain shrimp in a strainer and discard remaining marinating liquid.
