Bob Rileys Beer Boil Shrimp Recipes

BEER-BOILED SHRIMP WITH OLD BAY®

Steps:

• Combine beer, seafood seasoning, and salt in a large saucepan or stockpot over medium-high heat. Squeeze juice from both lemon halves into the beer mixture and add both rinds to the beer. Stir and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and boil for 10 minutes.
• Add shrimp to boiling liquid, cover again with the lid, and turn off the heat. Transfer shrimp to serving bowls when they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 3 minutes.

BEER SHRIMP BOIL

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!

EASY BEER BOILED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan on medium high and add chopped onion.
• Saute onion until soft(around 2-5 minutes).
• Add shrimp and pour in enough beer to cover shrimp (usually 3-4 bottles is enough) and simmer until shrimp turns pink and is cooked through.
• Note: I liked to just bring the pot to the table to serve and provide Old Bay Seasoning for people to add to the shrimp on their plate. The Old Bay can also be added to the shrimp when cooking as well.
