Steps:
- In a large pot, bring the beer, water, shrimp boil seasoning, salt, peppercorns and the juiced lemon halves to a boil over medium heat. Allow mixture to boil covered for 10 minutes.

- Add 1/2 cup of the beer boiling liquid to the butter and simmer for 2 minutes, then transfer to small serving bowls. Serve the warm shrimp with the butter dipping sauce on the side, and don't forget the empty bowls for the shrimp shells. Enjoy!
- Serving Suggestion: I love a great loaf of French bread with this to sop up the yummy sauce!
BOILED SHRIMP IN BEER WITH COCKTAIL SAUCE
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:

- Choose the right beer. This recipe calls for a light beer, such as Bud Light or Coors Light. However, you can use any beer that you like. If you want a more flavorful dish, use a darker beer, such as Guinness or Newcastle Brown Ale.
- Boil the shrimp for the right amount of time. Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Boil the shrimp for 2-3 minutes, or until they are pink and opaque.
- Add the seasonings at the end of the cooking process. This will help to prevent the seasonings from boiling away.
- Serve the shrimp immediately. Boiled shrimp is best served hot, with a side of melted butter and lemon wedges.
