- 1 lb (500g) shrimp shell-on and deveined
- 1 tablespoon old bay seasoning
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup beer
- 1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley leaves
Instructions
- Defrost the shrimp and rinse thoroughly with cold water. Drain, pat dry with paper towels, and set aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter melts, add the shrimp and toss to coat. Sprinkle in the Old Bay seasoning and stir to combine well with the shrimp.

Notes

- For the best result, choose a lighter tasting beer which is less bitter.
- Don't discard and waste the beer broth. Sop it up with bread.
