Best Recipe for Spicy Drunken Shrimp

Ingredients

  • 2 (12 fluid ounce) bottles beer
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
  • 1 tablespoon thyme
  • 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (such as Crystal®)
  • 1 pound shell-on medium shrimp

Instructions

  1. Stir beer, lemon juice, seafood seasoning, thyme, and hot pepper sauce together in a non-reactive saucepan; bring to a boil and add shrimp. Return liquid to a simmer and cook shrimp until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 3 minutes.
  2. Remove pan from heat and let shrimp sit in liquid at least 5 minutes more before draining. Let shrimp cool until cool enough to touch.
