Beer Steamed Shrimp With Garlic Butter (ATK)

• porții: 4

Ingrediente

6 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon hot sauce

1 (12-ounce) can beer

4 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning

2 pounds extra-large shell-on shrimp (see note)

Instrucțiuni

1. 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.

2. Fit Dutch oven with steamer basket, add beer, and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle Old Bay 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.

Note

If you can find them, use E-Z Peel shrimp; the shells on these shrimp have already been slit open, which makes peeling the cooked shrimp at the table easier. Either way, this dish makes for messy eating, so serve with plenty of napkins.
