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.

Serve while still warm, or refrigerate and reheat before serving.
