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.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest shrimp possible. Fresh shrimp will have a firm texture and a slightly briny smell. Avoid shrimp that is slimy or has a strong fishy odor.
- Use a large pot to boil the shrimp. This will help to prevent the shrimp from overcrowding and becoming tough.
- Add plenty of Old Bay seasoning to the boiling water. Old Bay is a classic seafood seasoning that will give the shrimp a delicious flavor.
- Boil the shrimp for just a few minutes. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery. Shrimp are done boiling when they turn pink and opaque.
- Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, or melted butter are all great options.
