Instructions

Prepare the Key Lime Mustard Sauce: Combine mayonnaise, fresh lime juice, Dijon mustard, a pinch of sugar, and hot pepper sauce in a bowl. Mix until smooth, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the Key Lime Mustard Sauce for a minimum of 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
Start the Shrimp Boil: In a large saucepan, combine beer, zesty lemon juice, seafood seasoning blend, a dash of hot pepper sauce, minced garlic, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then gently add the fresh shrimp.
Cook the shrimp until they turn a vibrant pink on the outside and the flesh is opaque, approximately 2 minutes. Immediately drain the shrimp to prevent overcooking.
