Beer Steamed Shrimp

Cajuns pretty much drink the same types of beverage that most other cultures do. We like cold beer with our boiled crawfish and crabs, bar-b-cues and boudin. If drinking your beer isn’t enough, here’s a recipe to cook it into a delicious dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 tbsp salt
  • 2 (12 oz) cans beer
  • 3 tbsp crab boil
  • 2 pounds shrimp, peeled and cleaned

Directions

Step 1

In a pot, combine all ingredients, except shrimp. Bring to a boil.

Step 2

Add shrimp. Stir gently, cover and steam until tender - about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Serve boiled potatoes as a recommended side.
