BEER STEAMED SHRIMP WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Make and share this Beer Steamed Shrimp With Garlic Butter recipe from Food.com.

Provided by MaddysMom

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 (12 ounce) can beer
4 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning
2 lbs extra-large shrimp, shell-on

Steps:

  • Heat butter and garlic in Dutch oven over medium heat until sizzling and fragrant, about 4 minutes.
  • Pour garlic butter into serving bowl and stir in lemon juice and hot sauce. Cover and keep warm.
  • Fit Dutch oven with steamer basket, add beer, and bring to boil over medium-high heat.
  • Sprinkle Old Bay Seasoning evenly over shrimp and transfer to steamer basket.
  • Cover and steam until shrimp are cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Transfer to serving platter.
  • Serve with warm garlic butter for dipping.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, large shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a light beer for steaming the shrimp, such as a pilsner or lager. Dark beers can overpower the delicate flavor of the shrimp.
  • Add aromatics to the steaming liquid, such as garlic, ginger, lemongrass, or scallions, to enhance the flavor of the shrimp.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp. Shrimp are cooked through when they are opaque and pink, and the meat is firm to the touch.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a garlic-butter sauce, a soy-ginger sauce, or a spicy Thai chili sauce.

Conclusion:

Steamed shrimp in beer is a quick, easy, and delicious seafood dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
