These shrimp are a great way to use up leftover beer. I always have a few cans in the fridge and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shrimp turned out rubbery. I think I might have overcooked them.

The shrimp were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more Old Bay seasoning next time.

I added some extra garlic and chili peppers to the sauce for a little extra spice. It was delicious!

I'm not a big fan of beer, but these shrimp were still delicious. The spices really masked the beer flavor.
