Shrimp - Steamed 'Beer & Garlic Butter

By Kwasome

**To make peeling the cooked shrimp at the table easier, look for E-Z Peel shrimp; the shells on these shrimp have already been slit open. Mild-flavored beers (such as Budweiser) work best here.

Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• 1 (12-ounce) can beer
• 4 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning
• 2 pounds extra-large shrimp, shell-on

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat butter and garlic in Dutch oven over medium heat until sizzling and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Pour garlic butter into serving bowl and stir in lemon juice and hot sauce. Cover and keep warm.
2. Fit Dutch oven with steamer basket, add beer, and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle Old Bay Seasoning evenly over shrimp and transfer to steamer basket. Cover and steam until shrimp are cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to serving platter. Serve with warm garlic butter for dipping.
