BOILED SHRIMP IN BEER WITH COCKTAIL SAUCE



Boiled Shrimp in Beer With Cocktail Sauce image

This recipe is simple to make. I have made shrimp this way for years. It's kinda like having a shrimp cocktail. Shrimp is best when chilled. Great for parties, with meals as a appetizer or just alone. NOTE: Use seasonings to your taste. I usually add 1 packet of Splenda (or of choice) to the cocktail sauce instead of regular sugar.

Tips:

1. Fresher the better: Using fresh shrimp is key to a great shrimp boil. Look for shrimp that are firm, have a briny smell, and have a translucent appearance. Avoid shrimp that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor. 2. Properly clean your shrimp: Before boiling, make sure to devein and rinse your shrimp thoroughly. Deveining is the process of removing the dark vein that runs along the back of the shrimp. This vein contains grit and can be unappetizing. 3. Don't overcrowd the pot: When boiling your shrimp, it's important not to overcrowd the pot. This can cause the shrimp to cook unevenly and can make it difficult to remove them from the pot. 4. Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque: Shrimp cook very quickly, so it's important to watch them closely to avoid overcooking. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. 5. Use a variety of seasonings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to seasoning your shrimp boil. Some popular options include Old Bay seasoning, Cajun seasoning, lemon pepper, garlic powder, and dill. 6. Serve your shrimp boil with your favorite sides: Shrimp boils are typically served with a variety of sides, such as corn on the cob, potatoes, and sausage. You can also serve your shrimp boil with a dipping sauce, such as cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, or remoulade.
