How to Make Beer Steamed Shrimp With Garlic Butter
- Mince garlic. In a Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and sizzling (about 1 minute).
- In a serving bowl, whisk together melted garlic butter, lemon juice, and hot sauce. Set aside and keep warm.
- Fit the Dutch oven with a steamer basket. Add beer to the Dutch oven.
- Bring the beer to a boil over medium-high heat.
- While the beer is heating, sprinkle Old Bay seasoning evenly over the shrimp.
- Once the beer boils, carefully add the shrimp to the steamer basket. Cover the Dutch oven and steam for 4-6 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque and are cooked through.
- Carefully remove the steamer basket from the Dutch oven. Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter.
- Serve immediately with the warm garlic butter for dipping. Enjoy!
