Ingredients:

Serving

1 (12 oz) bottle beer
2 tsp kosher salt
2 lemons, halved
3 bay leaves
fresh thyme sprig
1 head garlic , split horizontally
1 tbsp old bay seasoning
2 lbs large shrimp, uncooked, with shells and tails
lemon wedge, for serving

Directions:

Fill a large pot with about 2 qts. water.
Crack open the beer and pour it in the pot.
Add salt and squeeze in lemon juice; toss the halves in, too.
Add herbs, garlic and Old Bay.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the water with the aromatics.
Now reduce heat to medium-low and put shrimp in the mixture.
Simmer, uncovered, for 2 to 3 minutes or until shrimp are bright pink.
Drain and transfer to a bowl.
Chill thoroughly, then peel.
Serve with lemon wedges and coctail sauce.
NOTE: I used peeled, uncooked shrimp for this and it turned out just fine.
Cocktail Sauce:.
Mix 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup grated fresh or prepared horseradish, 1 teaspoon minced garlic and a few drops of hot pepper sauce.
