Ingredients:

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 (12 oz) can beer (the cheaper the better)
  • 3 tbsp old bay seasoning (remember these are just guesses...sprinkle till the top of the water is covered with the spices)
  • 3 tbsp celery seeds

Directions:

  1. In a deep frying pan or pot add the water, vinegar and beer.
  2. Sprinkle old bay, red pepper flakes and celery seed to cover the top of the liquid.
  3. When it starts to boil add enough shrimp to cover the top of the water, you don't want to crowd them.
  4. Boil till the tails start to curl (5 to 7 minutes depending on the size of the shrimp, take out when they start to curl or you will over cook them).
  5. Add water, beer and spices as needed for the next batch, to keep the liquid deep enough for the shrimp to float.
