Ingredients

4 (12 ounce) bottles beer
1 tablespoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
1 teaspoon salt
1 lemon, halved crosswise
1.5 pounds fresh shrimp, with shells and tails on

Instructions

In a large pot or saucepan, combine beer, seafood seasoning, and salt over medium-high heat. Squeeze in the juice from the lemon halves, then add the rinds to the pot. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil. Cover the pot and let it boil for 10 minutes.
Add the shrimp to the boiling liquid, cover the pot, and remove from the heat. Once the shrimp shells turn bright pink and the meat is opaque (about 3 minutes), transfer the shrimp to serving bowls and enjoy!
