BEER-BOILED SHRIMP
This was my stepfather's crowd-pleasing recipe. It's simple to make, and the longer the shrimp sit, the better! You can prepare the shrimp a day ahead, refrigerate, and reheat before serving. The leftover liquid can be frozen and used to make great gumbo.

SOUTH MISSISSIPPI SPICY BEER-BOILED SHRIMP
Steps:
- In a very large stock pot, add 1/2 gallon of water and the salt--after salt dissolves taste and adjust to desired salinity. Add Zatarain's package and liquid, olive oil, onion, bell pepper lemon, and 3-4 bottles of beer (have enough liquid to cover the shrimp). Bring to a rolling boil and cook until the liquid is dark (10 minutes or as long as it takes to drink a Red Stripe). Add Shrimp and let the pot return to a boil. If you need more liquid, add another beer. Boil for 5 minutes, turn heat off, and allow to sit for 10 minutes (or as long as it takes to drink a Red Stripe). Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon to a large bowl. To cool down to eat, pour two bottles of Red Stripe over and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve immediately. Serves:
Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp will have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp.
- Clean the shrimp properly. Be sure to remove the heads, tails, and veins from the shrimp before cooking.
- Use a large pot. You'll need a large pot to hold all of the shrimp and beer.
- Bring the beer to a boil before adding the shrimp. This will help to infuse the shrimp with flavor.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp only takes a few minutes to cook, so be careful not to overcook them or they will become tough.
- Serve the shrimp immediately. Boiled shrimp is best served hot, so be sure to serve it as soon as it's done cooking.
Conclusion:
South Mississippi Spicy Beer Boiled Shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a party or a casual get-together. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful beer broth that's seasoned with Cajun spices, and they're served with a variety of dipping sauces. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
