Boiled Shrimp

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

  • Servings: 4
  • 2 lbs shrimp (with shells on)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup vinegar
  • 1 (12 ounce) can beer (the cheaper the better)
  • 3 tablespoons old bay seasoning (remember these are just guesses...sprinkle till the top of the water is covered with the spices)
  • 3 tablespoons red pepper flakes
  • 3 tablespoons celery seeds

Recipe

  • 1 in a deep frying pan or pot add the water, vinegar and beer.
  • 2 sprinkle old bay, red pepper flakes and celery seed to cover the top of the liquid.
  • 3 when it starts to boil add enough shrimp to cover the top of the water, you don't want to crowd them.
  • 4 boil till the tails start to curl (5 to 7 minutes depending on the size of the shrimp, take out when they start to curl or you will over cook them).
  • 5 add water, beer and spices as needed for the next batch, to keep the liquid deep enough for the shrimp to float.
