Eastern Shore Peel N East Smoked Shrimp Food

RESTAURANT STYLE PEEL AND EAT SHRIMP

Steps:

• Use a 3- 4 quart saucepan to cook the shrimp. Fill the pan halfway with water then add the beer, Old Bay, pickling spice and the lemon halves with the juice squeezed into the water.
• Bring the water to a boil, then add the shrimp.
• Cook the shrimp for 2-4 minutes depending upon their size. I cooked my shrimp for 3 minutes and they were perfectly done.If the pan is overcrowded it could take longer. I usually let the water come back to a boil and let the shrimp cook for 1-2 minutes longer. A cooked shrimp should feel firm, not soft.
• When the shrimp have finished cooking, drain them into a colander and discard the lemon.If you enjoy eating peel and eat shrimp hot you can serve them before they cool. Peel and eat shrimp can also be served cool which will allow you to prepare them ahead of time.
• Serve with lemon slices and cocktail sauce
• Mix the ketchup, chili sauce, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl.Depending upon how spicy you like cocktail sauce adjust the amount of horseradish. Remember you can always add more.
• Chill until needed.
